Tell me about your last performance review.
The NHS is focused on hiring top talent, and this question provides the interview with some insight from your most recent performance feedback. Think about your last formal appraisal; if your company did not conduct them, think about conversations you may have had informally with your manager or supervisor. Discuss what strengths your manager recognised and what significant milestones or accomplishments were highlighted. The NHS values customer service, compassion, commitment to excellence, and a passion for caring for others. Think about how you can tie your areas of strength and achievement to the role you're applying for and the company's core values.
"My previous manager did quarterly evaluations, and during this time, the employees would self-evaluate, and then the manager would evaluate and rate us as well. In my most recent evaluation, I received an "exceeds expectations" rating, and my manager commended me on my ability to take charge in high-pressure situations and my ability to calm and reassure patients on scene. They also rated me highly in critical thinking and problem-solving abilities."
