The NHS places a great emphasis on its NHS Constitution, which contains its guiding values and principles. The interviewer will likely ask a question to test your knowledge of the six core values, as it will be an expectation that you demonstrate them if offered a position. These are important to know so that you can weave your alignment into not only this answer but also other relevant questions throughout the interview.

"I've done a lot of research on the NHS's core values and understand that they are as follows: working together for patients, respect and dignity, commitment to quality of care, improving lives, compassion, and the belief that everyone counts. I feel that each of these are important aspects of providing quality care to patients, and they are values that I believe in and model as well. I love that all citizens can receive care at the NHS, and if offered the position, I would fully align with the mission and values of the organisation."

"I'm very familiar with the NHS Constitution and the guiding principles and values. The six core values include respect and dignity, commitment to quality of care, compassion, improving lives, working together for patients, and the belief that everyone counts. I align with all these core values of the NHS and live them out each day in the work that I do as an occupational therapist. These values allow us to have a standard expectation and drive quality and excellence in care."
