Nursing and Midwifery interview guidance

Preparing for your interview

Observe the world around you

What stories and events are currently influencing healthcare? What’s your opinion on the latest news?

Do your research

Could you meet the expectations? Use this exercise as a chance to reflect on your own character. Remember this might not be a career with regular hours!

Familiarise yourself with the NHS

The NHS values underpin the key attributes of all healthcare professionals. Consider your previous relevant experience and think about how you can demonstrate them. Read the NHS constitution.

Have your documents ready

If you need to show any documents, they will be listed in your email from admissions. Make sure you have them to hand and familiarise yourself again with the answers you gave to your personal statement questions on your UCAS form!

Plan some questions

Remember this is your chance to find out about us too – so talk to us when you get the chance!

What are you going to wear?

Try to dress smartly. We want to see that you appreciate and respect that you’ll have to adhere to a dress code both on placement and once you enter the workplace as a qualified professional.
