Help! Interview for NHS Waiting List Co-ordinator

I have an interview this week for a Waiting List Co-ordinator at my local hospital. I'm really struggling to come up with some suitable questions to ask at the end of the interview. I worked for the NHS a couple of years ago and so know the answers to most of the questions that I normally ask! Can anybody help with some suitable suggestions?

And does anybody know what CBU (as in Surgery CBU) means? I can't find anything relating to CBU anywhere!

    CBU is short for Clinical Business Unit.
  • Thank you Dogger. At least now I'll know where I will be working. The JD was full of abbreviations and that's the only one left that I couldn't work out.

    The best idea of an end-of-interview question I've come across was "Is this a new post, or has it arisen from someone moving on," followed by "will there be the opportunity for a hand-over period?"

    I generally don't ask questions at the end of an interview unless there's something I particularly want to know.

    If the interview has thrown queries on my part, I will ask, otherwise, I don't. I don't think it has ever gone against me. They ask because they have to ask!

    I always used to say that they had answered any queries I had during the interview, unless there was a specific question I had. That way they felt they were doing a good job too :)
