According to the British Medical Association, the NHS faces many challenges that they expect to continue for years. They have identified medical staffing shortages, funding, waiting lists for tests, and intensive care capacity, to name a few. The interviewers want to see that you are aware of the current challenges facing the NHS and have used your critical thinking skills to determine what challenges face the NHS in the next few years. Describe what you see as the greatest challenge for the NHS in the next few years. Then, give a possible solution to the problem if you have one.

"After researching the NHS and speaking with friends who work for the NHS, I see the most significant challenge as what it is now, staffing shortages. With so many health and care professionals retiring and fewer healthcare students entering the workforce, I do not see how there cannot be continued staffing shortages in the next few years. The only solution I see is to offer retention packages to current employees to entice them to stay and a marketing plan to encourage students to pursue health and care careers."
