All employees at the NHS must be knowledgeable about when and how to protect sensitive or private information. Demonstrate your understanding of the importance of protecting patient information in the workplace and consider ways you ensure patient information is not left in public places or stored inappropriately. Perhaps you speak in a lower voice when relaying confidential information so other patients don't overhear, or maybe you lock your computer when you leave your workstation. When responding, give an overview of your experience in healthcare protecting this type of data and examples of ways you ensure patient information is safe.

"There are several ways that I protect confidential information. If I have a patient at my workstation, I will use my kiosk screen to confirm personal data instead of repeating it all out loud in front of other patients or visitors in the area. Anytime I leave my desk, I lock my computer and put files with patient data in my locked drawer to protect it from unauthorized view. This includes patient files, prescriptions, lab orders, and even post-it notes that I may have jotted something down that contained a date of birth or name and test result. I also change my computer password regularly to reduce the risk of someone accessing my computer and files. Lastly, when I deal with a patient's family and friends inquiring about patient statuses, I always check their file to see who they have given consent to be given that information."
