Preparing for Your Interview

Review the course profile and be familiar with the values outlined in the NHS Values and Standards of Behaviour Framework and the NMC Code of Conduct.

There are also a range of on-line materials you can access including the 6C's and an insight into Nursing roles from the NHS - https://www.healthcareers.nhs.uk/explore-roles/nursing/roles-nursing

It is beneficial to reference any work experience (paid or voluntary) in the health or social care field. Consider organising relevant experience prior to your interview.

Dress appropriately for a professional setting. Smart clothing is recommended, though we want you to feel comfortable.

If you require accommodations (e.g. additional time, large print materials) or have accessibility requirements, please contact us at least 48 hours before the interview.
