Depending on the position you are interviewing for as a Band 7 pharmacist, your duties may include training new and current staff on aseptic techniques, patient interaction, and unit policies and procedures. Your role may also be to supervise a junior clinical pharmacy team while developing leadership skills. The interviewers want to know if you have experience training and managing others to determine if you will need further training in this department if hired. Describe your experience leading and training others, in what capacity, and for how long.

"I have worked as a community pharmacist for the past two years. Part of my job duties was to work alongside and mentor pharmacy technicians and pharmacy support staff to ensure they delivered high-quality care. I would assist with training and onboarding new staff and daily supervision of the entire operations while working directly with patients and multidisciplinary teams. I feel my experience has given me the skills, confidence, and knowledge to transition into this Band 7 role, and I look forward to the opportunity to put my skills to use with the NHS."
