“Having studied the job description, the top five competencies needed in this position, in my opinion, are TECHNICAL COMPETENCE β without this, you cannot carry out your work to the necessary standards or achieve optimum patient care. You must have outstanding COMMUNICATION SKILLS and be aware that, for communication to be effective, it needs to be a two-way process. Communication is about listening as well as speaking. You must be able to demonstrate CARE, COMPASSION & PATIENCE and be understanding of peopleβs situation when giving advice, information or treatment. An understanding of HEALTH, SAFETY AND SECURITY is another competency. You must be aware of your surroundings, report incidents that compromise safety or breach the operational guidelines. Finally, EQUALITY AND DIVERSITY is another very important quality. Everyone who works in the NHS must act in a manner that supports quality and diversity. This means treating people fairly, appropriately, with respect and in line with their own specific needs.”
