Interviewers will ask this question for several reasons. First, they are interested in your career goals and want to hear where you see yourself in ten years. The second, and probably the most important reason, is the interviewers want to know if you see yourself with the NHS in ten years. A recent study shows the NHS spends 12,000 pounds on replacing a fully-trained nurse, which turns out to be 3.6 million pounds per year per Trust to replace nurses. The interviewers want to see if you will be worth their investment if chosen for the position and that you aspire to grow professionally in your career.

"My ten-year goal is to be working as the head of clinical education for an NHS trust. As a Band 6 nurse, I have had significant involvement in teaching nursing students and the community in medical education. Over the next three years, I will obtain my Master's Degree in Clinical Education. This degree will give me the educational background I need along with my professional qualifications and experience to apply for the position."
