What are the six core values of the NHS?

The interviewers want to see that you have researched the NHS and understand the values you will be asked to uphold if hired. Here is what you will learn when you research the NHS's core values.

The NHS belongs to the people and is founded on a common set of values and principles called the NHS Constitution. The six core values in the NHS Constitution are:

1. Working together for patients
2. Respect and dignity
3. Commitment to quality of care
4. Compassion
5. Improving lives
6. Everyone counts

Show the interviewers that you are diligent and have done your homework by reciting the six values. They do not have to be repeated verbatim, but enough that the interviewers see you understand the values of the NHS.
