The job announcement will say how many years of experience the NHS requires for the position you are interviewing for. It will also be mentioned if they do not require experience and will train you. The interviewers want to hear if you have experience and where you gained your experience or if they will need to put you through a training program if hired for the position.

"Yes, I have been in the healthcare industry for 16 years. I started as a volunteer patient companion, visiting patients and assisting hospital personnel with whatever they needed. After completing secondary school, I received my Adult Nursing degree and have worked as a nurse for 12 years at small and large hospitals. My speciality is working in the emergency department, but I have also worked in the ICU and internal medicine."
