Questions to ask

When you are conducting a client meeting it is imperative to ask as many questions as possible but even more important is to listen. By listening they will give a lot more information than you think. Questions to ask should include:

• How long have you been working at (XXXX)?

• What is your background in healthcare?

• What issues do you face (if any) when you are recruiting?

• How many wards/service users?

• Does your service require workers to have any specific training i.e., PMVA

• What is the procedure for signing in for workers?

• Do you have a uniform policy? 

• Where are the local bus stops/train stations? 

• What are the service users’ main needs/requirements? 

• Who deals with your recruitment? (get email address/phone number)

• Do you have any ongoing raffles we can donate to?

• MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION: Do you have any vacancies outstanding that we can assist with right now?

• Are we able to have a look around? (if attending face to face meeting)
