me to create more content. Thank you very much. OK. Let's get straight into those radiography

NHS interview questions and top scoring answers. Question number one: tell me about yourself

and why you want to be radiographer with the NHS? So, here is my suggested answer: “As

a Radiographer, you have a huge amount of responsibility to not only assist in the diagnosis

of patients to assess what is wrong with them, but you also have a strict duty to ensure

the highest standards of safety in your work are adhered to. I am someone who enjoys working

in a challenging role where you are not only required to follow your training and the strict

rules and procedures outlined by the NHS, but you also need outstanding communication

and impersonal skills, something which I already possess. I am someone who can be relied upon

to abide by the NHS values whilst continually providing a total commitment to the quality

of diagnosis and care. I want to work within the NHS because it is simply the best organisation

to work for within the healthcare profession. Furthermore, working in the NHS will give

me an edge in respect of my future professional development and advancement as a Radiographer.”

That's a very positive and strong answer. By the way, you can either write those down,

or if you wait, I will tell you where you can download these and my full set of Radiographer

interview questions and answers. Question number two: Why do you want to work for the

NHS as a Radiographer? So, why do you want to work for the NHS? Here is my suggested

answer: “As a Radiographer who takes great pride in my work, I want to work for not only

the best organisation possible, but also one that is constantly looking to improve and

develop. I take my professional development as a radiographer seriously, and I know working

for the NHS will be both highly rewarding, challenging and also positive for my future

development. The NHS hires some of the best medical professionals in the world, and to

work alongside them will be a great privilege. I also want to work for the same organization

for a long period of time, and providing I carry out my radiography duties competently

and professionally, I will always have a career within the NHS. Finally, having studied the

NHS Trust core values in detail, it is clear it is an organisation that puts its patients

first and this is something that is important to me as a radiography professional.” That's

another great answer to your NHS radiographer interview! Next question. What are the most

important skills needed to become a radiographer? So, this is assessing your understanding of

the job description and the person specification. Here's my suggested answer: “There are numerous

skills and qualities needed to be a competent and effective Radiographer. First and foremost,

you need an understand of, and a total commitment to, the NHS Trust values as these are core

to everything you do within the role. You also need an analytical mind, a keen eye for

detail and exceptional observational skills, primarily because you cannot afford to get

things wrong in respect of the diagnosis you are conducting for your patients. You obviously

need an enthusiastic interest in radiography, anatomy, pathology and physiology, as well

as a solid understanding of general medicine and surgery. Further skills needed include:

outstanding communication and interpersonal qualities, team working capabilities, being

a strong organiser, accurate report writing skills, practical and manual dexterity skills,

and also competent clinical knowledge and safeguarding awareness.” Next question.

set of NHS Radiographer interview questions and high-scoring answers. Now, I've still

got two go through, so please do watch these. What do you expect to be doing on a daily

basis as an NHS Radiographer? Here's my answer to this question. “Radiographers form an

integral part of the great work carried out by the NHS. I would expect to be performing

general x-ray duties in order to see inside a patient’s body to diagnose what is wrong

with them. Other radiography uses include ultrasound scans and magnetic resonance imaging,

all in the aid of treating patients for a variety of common injures and/or diseases.

I would be responsible for ensuring all radiography work I undertake is safe, competent and in

line with the training I have received and also the rules and procedures outlined by

the NHS Trust I am working for. I will need to ensure the radiation used is safely monitored

and ensure I, and others, wear the appropriate protective equipment. I will also need to

work collaboratively with other NHS members of staff to provide them with the assessments

they need whilst also advising and reassuring patients and also keeping accurate records

of all work I carry out as a Radiographer.” Next question: How would you deal with a difficult

patient whilst working as a Radiographer in the NHS? So, as you and I know, whilst working

in the NHS you will come across upset, frustrated and sometimes angry patients. You will need

effective communication and interpersonal skills to provide effective treatment and

care. Here we go. “Dealing with upset, frustrated and even angry patients is all part of working

in the NHS. For me, the most important thing to remember is that, most of the time, patients

are in a confusing and disorientating environment. They may be anxious and fearful of what is

about to happen, so it is important to follow the NHS core values and act at all times with

compassion and empathy. I believe communication and how you interact with your patients is

very important, and this can help to reduce stress and anxiety, and also go a long way

to reassuring them that you have their best interests at heart. So, I would always talk

to them confidently, concisely and clearly, whilst providing them with as much detail

as possible. In addition to this, I would ask them questions, guide them through the

radiography process to allay any fears they may have, and also keep them updated and informed

at all times whilst they are in my care.” So, that shows that you follow in the NHS

core values as Radiographer, and you know how to deal with people. You are also aware

of the stress and anxiety they may be under. So don't forget, if you want to download my
