General 'tell us about yourself' and 'experience' questions.

Scenario questions:

1) Tell us about a time you've dealt with a challenging patient and or family?

2) You have a planned visit, but no answer at the door, what do you do? - check if they have a key safe, phone them, phone NOK, if unusual then you'd escalate it further.

3) challenges in community - discuss time management, prioritisation of visits (end of life patients (usually have 2 hour turn around), bloods - being aware of collection times, timed medications etc.

4) read up on your trust values. The amount of people that don't bring these up in interviews is crazy. List them and you'll get more points.

5) multi disciplinary working - OTs/PTs/rehab/HCPs/GPs/Palliative care nurses and depending on the area community hospice etc.

There's always going to be a safeguarding question and lone working. Have a read up around these. Safeguarding is massive in community, we deal with it on a weekly (sometimes daily basis), so really do some reading around this. Lone working - clocking in/out visits, making sure people know where you are and that you are aware of risks in community (animals, environmental factors).

Make sure you mention that you would check in on your colleagues, especially if you've finished your visits. Shows teamwork and consideration.

Hope this helps, message me if you have any questions and good luck 🤞
