This question allows the interviewer to explore your healthcare background and what environments you have worked in to understand if your background aligns or if you've worked in an environment where your skills would transfer well. Give an overview of the settings you've worked in (hospitals, clinics, charities, prisons, social services departments, etc.) and include the range of patient populations you've worked with. You can also include details about the pace of the environment or give insight into the size of the organisation or even the volume of patients you care for in that setting.

"During my apprenticeship, I worked in a care home. I worked with patients who had suffered from a stroke, brain injury, joint replacement, arthritis, chronic pain, spinal cord injuries, poor balance, cerebral palsy, and MS. While I really enjoyed that setting, I'm also open to exploring other areas like the hospital, home health or inpatient rehab."
