2. Respect and dignity
3. Commitment to quality of care
4. Compassion
5. Improving lives
6. Everyone counts

The interviewers want to see that you have researched the NHS and understand the values you will be asked to uphold if hired for the Band 6 nursing position. Show the interviewers that you are diligent and have done your homework by reciting the six values.
