"I'm the only medical secretary for our consultant, so I'm the main point of contact for patients in the office. The majority of my day is spent interacting with patients who come in for appointments and on the phone with patients answering questions or scheduling/confirming appointments for the week. I also manage the cancellation list. We have a full-time person who does billing, but some days I will assist her with filing duties if she is behind. The remainder of my day is usually spent compiling and updating patient records, typing letters and clinical reports, some medical audio typing, and correspondence through our electronic patient portal and email inbox."

The interviewer would like to discover more about your day-to-day roles, responsibilities, structure, and pace. If you are coming from another healthcare organisation, it's likely similar to what would be required in the position with the NSH; however, it's important to describe in detail what your activities look like. Consider whether you spend time on the phone, maintaining medical records, scheduling appointments, or ensuring referrals are passed on to consultants. Read the job description thoroughly, and discuss the areas of responsibility you have experience in and perform daily. Keep a positive tone as you describe what your current role entails each day, and refrain from complaining about certain duties or feeling overwhelmed by the day-to-day tasks.
