As part of your job as a ward clerk with the NHS, you may be responsible for creating and maintaining patient files, so the interviewer will likely inquire about your experience in this area. Think about your experience setting up a new patient at the office, transferring records to and from another facility, updating patient forms or test results, storing them as a paper file or electronic record, or even conducting audits. Give an overview of tasks you regularly perform and include the type of setting (hospital, GP office, etc.).

"On our ward, I'm responsible for helping new patients get established by requesting their previous medical records and putting together a new chart for them, including new patient forms. I'm also responsible for maintaining patient records on our EMR system and updating their personal information as needed, adding appointment information, transferring test results, and sometimes including transcriptions in the files. I ensure that charts are accurately maintained, and patient information and data are protected and secured at all times."
