The NHS has an extensive website that tells people everything they could want to know about the organization. Their 'Working in the NHS' page talks about how the National Health Service (NHS) is one of the largest employers in the world, and the biggest in Europe, with over 1.3 million staff. They talk about a typical day in the NHS, the different types of careers offered, the mission and vision of the NHS, the purpose of the NHS, and the NHS Constitution and core values, to name a few. The interviewers want to see that you have done your homework and can tell them a little about the NHS. Describe what you find fascinating about the NHS.

"When researching the NHS, I learned that your organization is the largest employer in Europe and one of the largest in the world. You employ over 1.3 million staff and expect all employees to follow the NHS Constitution, which includes the NHS values and principles. The NHS was established in 1948 when the government created the concept of an integrated, state-funded hospital service. They wanted the NHS to guarantee basic levels of personal and social security, which has continued to this day."

"I understand that the NHS is a publicly funded healthcare system and is also the largest employer in the UK. This means that the NHS belongs to the citizens and is there to support them physically and mentally. Patients are treated on an as-needed basis instead of their ability to pay for care, so no one is denied care because of their financial hardship. I feel that I personally align well with the NHS values of respect and dignity, commitment to quality care, compassion, improving the lives of others, and working together for patients."
