The interviewers ask this question for two reasons. They want to see if you have professional goals and a plan to achieve them. Setting goals to improve and grow professionally shows that you are motivated and dedicated to your profession. The interviewers also want to see if your plans include working for the NHS. Companies invest a lot of money and time to hire and train employees, and the interviewers want to know that you will be a long-term employee and a wise investment if hired.

"I am fascinated by sonography and plan on completing a sonography degree apprenticeship in the next three years. I see there is a high need for sonographers within the NHS, and I hope to do a lateral transfer once I complete the apprenticeship. From there, I want to focus on working in obstetrics and gynaecology and gaining experience before setting new longer-term career goals."
