The interviewers ask this question to determine why you are looking for a new place of employment. When they understand why you are leaving your current position, they can see if the NHS can provide you with what you seek.

Keep your response positive. Even though the interviewers want to hear what you like least about your current job, they do not want to listen to you bad-mouth your colleagues, patients, or management. When you respond, highlight the opportunities you can receive with the NHS. For example, you may not like your current job because there is no opportunity for growth or it is a part-time position. In that case, point out how this role offers opportunities for professional development or a full-time schedule.
