What are your ideas, if your ready for a band 7 you must have some ideas about quality and safety and what your role would be

Kind of agree with XB9S, you should know this stuff. Band 7 is a management post and if you do not know it, are you ready?

I am assuming it will be 5-10 minute presentation. Will you be allowed to use powerpoint? If so find or make up some slides showing your ideas, talk around them and give out a hand out at the beginning to everyone - shows preparedness. If you can't use powerpoint then hopefully you should be able to use chalkboard/whiteboard/big bit of paper. Anything to give the panel something to look at. Yes, yes, I know this is basic but it is important. Are you one of those people who get a nice bright rash at their throat when talking in public? Wear a scarf. This is all simple stuff. The real trick is knowing what they are looking for and being able to spout it out at them under pressure. Remember as a band 7 you are the leader and YOU will decide on ward/department culture so you need to get over what you will bring. Dealing with an interview panel is much simpler than dealing with some stroppy band 5 or 6.
