The interviewers mention that many qualified candidates are interviewing for the same position. You want to avoid speaking negatively of the other candidates or sounding arrogant when responding to this question. However, you want to sell yourself in the interview, but not while making the interviewers think you will be a challenging person to work with.
Review the job announcement before your interview and highlight the qualities, experience, and education the NHS seeks in an employee. Then, focus on using those keywords in your response while highlighting unique attributes that make you a better candidate than others.

"I understand there are many qualified applicants for this position, who I am sure would all do well. However, you should choose me as I have more experience and credentials than the job requires. I am passionate about my job as a physiotherapist and have been certified as a neurological and pain management physiotherapist. With these subspecialties, I can make a more accurate clinical diagnosis to treat my patients more effectively. My knowledge and experience also allows me to better educate patients and carers on how to improve the patient's condition and enjoy a better quality of life. I am excited to bring my skills and expertise to the NHS and be a positive role model for the new generation of physiotherapists."
