The 6 Cs of nursing were established by the former NHS England Chief Nursing Officer Jane Cummings in December 2017 as the central part of 'Compassion in Practice.' Its purpose is to ensure patients are treated with care and compassion every day. The 6 Cs are (1) care, (2) compassion, (3) courage, (4) communication, (5) commitment, and (6) competence. The interviewers want to see that you have been trained on the 6 Cs and hear which resonates the most with you, showing a glimpse into your personality and motivation to pursue a career in nursing.

"The 6 Cs all resonate with me because they embody the true essence of a nurse. If I could only choose one, commitment resonates the most. This is a challenging field, and we must be committed to our patients, our employers, our patient's carers and relatives, our colleagues, and our families. We must also be committed to caring for our mental and physical health, as this can be a very stressful job and can easily lead to burnout."
