Bedside manner is a health and care professional's approach or attitude toward a patient. The interviewers ask this question to determine if you have the qualities they seek in a physiotherapist. They want to hear you are kind, patient, friendly, compassionate, and caring. Now is the time to describe how you treat all patients with respect, empathy, kindness, and compassion.

"I would describe my bedside manner as nurturing, comforting, patient, and caring. I approach all patients the same. I introduce myself, ask their name, and explain what I can do for them. I take the time to actively listen to their concerns, showing them I care about them and want to help them. I believe all healthcare professionals should treat patients how they want others to treat themselves or loved ones."
