This question allows the interviewer to explore your healthcare background and what environments you have worked in to understand if your background aligns or if you've worked in an environment where your skills would transfer well. Give an overview of the settings you've worked in (care home, hospital, consultant's office, general practice, etc.) and include the range of patient populations you've worked with. You can also include details about the pace of the environment or give insight into the size of the organization or even the volume of staff and patients you supported in your roles.

"I worked for five years as a ward clerk and then moved into the medical secretary role, which I've been in for the last three years. As a ward clerk, I worked on the surgical ward with a team of about 20 other staff members. I did everything from data entry to answering phones and making appointments. It was very fast-paced, and I enjoyed that setting. As a medical secretary, I have been working for a private clinic that sees mostly pediatric patients. It's a little slower pace, but I've gained a lot of exposure and experience here. I enjoy and am comfortable working in both settings and environments."
