The NHS has a PDF document online called 'Guidelines for Appropriate References.' This document outlines the types of preferred references, the number of references (at least two; three is preferred), how they will contact your references, and the availability of your references. The interviewers want to hear how your references will describe you to see if you have the characteristics they are looking for in a Band 7 radiographer and if they want to continue moving forward in the interview process.
If you have past performance reviews or letters of recommendation from your references, review them before your interview. You will be better prepared to answer the question if what they wrote is fresh in your mind. It is also good to have copies for the interviewers if they would like a copy for their files.

"I have an excellent list of references who will say that I am a hard worker who always brings a positive, compassionate attitude to the workplace. I have a strong work ethic and moral compass and above-average communication and leadership skills. I have three copies of performance reviews and letters of recommendation from former employers if you would like to have them."
