To prepare for a matron or head of nursing NHS interview, expect questions on safe staffing decisions and red flags, visible clinical leadership, PSIRF and harm-free care, safeguarding leadership, CQC readiness, supporting ward managers, budgets and agency spend, and the culture you create. Build each answer around a real decision you made as a senior nurse, show how you used data and spoke to people, and know the NMC Code, the NHS values and your target trust's quality priorities before you walk in.
