The interviewers want to know why you are looking for new employment to see if you were laid off or fired from your job, if you were unhappy for some reason, or if there are other circumstances behind you looking for employment with the NHS. If you were fired, they want to know if you will admit why you were fired, if you take responsibility, and what you learned from the experience. If you have given notice, they want to understand what you did not like about your job to see if you will fit in with the NHS company culture.

Be direct and honest while explaining why you are looking for a new job, but avoid saying anything negative about your previous employer, supervisor, patients, or colleagues. Speaking poorly of others shows the interviewers that you have poor character and talk about others behind their backs.
