I have been working on a Paediatric Intensive Care Unit for 6 years as a band 5, I now have an interview for a band 6. My presentation question is What impact does the expansion of beds have on the band 6 and 7 team? I also have extended roles such as retrieving patients from district hospitals and clinical liaison role in Blood Transfusion including audit, clinical assessment and education. How can I push these roles? I would appreciate any help!!! Thanks

Not knowing what a "band" is, I will still venture to answer your question.

You indicate you need to "push" some roles. My take on it is to present it in such a way as to show how it will benefit the employer, improve quality of care, improve patient satisfaction, or how it will save money. I hope this helps you.

Will move this to the UK forum

Check out there are a few threads on Band 6 interviews and also look for Sharrie (the other staff moderator for the forum) and check her signature out as it has a link to her blog where there is some good information on interviews
