As the largest healthcare provider in the UK, the NHS serves a very diverse patient base. The organization itself has a very thorough and detailed equality, diversity, and inclusion improvement plan that you can read up on prior to your interview. It will be important for your interviewer to hear that you embrace diversity and inclusion in the workplace and that you'll continue to do so as their next Band 7 theatre nurse. Pull from your experience how you've specifically embraced working with and caring for people from all different backgrounds. Then ensure your interviewer is aware that you will always be culturally sensitive with any patient you are caring for.
"I treat every patient and colleague as a person and always put myself in their shoes and do for them as I would want done to me. These are values that were instilled in me by my parents growing up and I would carry forward as a Band 7 theatre nurse. I would continue to embrace the NHS's culture of addressing discrimination among my team and holding staff accountable for inclusion initiatives here. I think my coaching and experiences would be beneficial in this role here. Over the last nine years of my career, I've cared for patients of Polish, Indian, Italian, Portuguese, and Pakistani descent to name a few. No matter what a patient's background was, I looked to understand their needs and the best way to care for them no matter what."
