If employed with the NHS, you may be asked to work with a diverse age range of patients, from paediatrics and their families to older adults. Give the interviewer some insight into what age groups you've worked with in the past and in what setting (hospital, clinic, community, etc.). Be sure you've read the job description thoroughly and searched for keywords into what age groups you may be working with in this role, so you can speak directly to that. Avoid speaking negatively about certain age groups and demonstrate your flexibility and willingness to work with various patient populations.

"Over the years, I have worked with all age groups, from paediatrics to the elderly. I enjoy working with patients of all ages, and I've found different techniques and strategies that seem to work better than others for each age group. For example, my younger patients tend to learn best by consuming content online and through apps, but my older patients like one-on-one training, literature to read, or hands-on educational methods. I'm comfortable with and am open to working with all patients in my next role."
