Depending on your specific clinical support role at the NHS, you may be responsible for patient safety, and that includes protecting patients from errors, injuries, accidents, and infections. Healthcare organisations like the NHS promote a culture of patient safety, and the interviewer would like to learn more about your level of commitment to this mission and core values. Think about safety holistically, and consider speaking about ways you keep patients safe while helping them ambulate, wash and dress patients, helping feed patients, taking or processing lab samples, protecting patient information, etc. Give specific examples from your professional experience or experience as a student or apprentice.

"Patient safety is something I take very seriously and make every effort to promote. As I have most recently worked in clinical support in the lab setting, patient safety is a top priority. To protect myself and my patients, when collecting lab samples, I always wear gloves and make sure I'm using sanitary equipment. When working with needles, I ensure they are placed in a sharps container so patients and staff are not accidentally poked. I am careful to verify the patient, procedure, and other identifiers before and after collecting samples to ensure I'm working with the correct patient and identifying samples correctly."
