New leaders with the NHS go through their leadership academy for orientation on all things related to the NHS. While this will typically last for around a month, they want to hear what you feel will be your biggest accomplishments to strive for in your first three months on the job.
"As a new NHS team leader, I would envision spending my initial weeks building relationships with the staff and listening to their concerns about the unit, along with gathering their ideas on ways to improve. I would also identify the highest priority issues regarding patient care and outcomes and begin root cause analysis. Ideally, I would have an action plan for the highest priority issue and have begun implementing it within my first 90 days of joining the NHS."

Since you will be a new team leader, you should listen and learn the culture and the company's operations during your initial months on the job rather than trying to make any big changes to processes. You could discuss mastering the program you will be overseeing at the NHS, orientating yourself with your team, or identifying and connecting with all key stakeholders you will be working with.
