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 anytime 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.

"Each day, I work with sensitive information as I have several responsibilities relating to patient records. I keep files with private patient information secure by locking them in my desk drawer if I leave my workstation or by locking my computer when I'm away if I'm using electronic medical records or charting. Anytime I fax information to another office, I use a cover sheet and mark the document confidential to notify the office they need to protect the data they are receiving. Anytime I receive a phone call from a friend or family member of a patient, I confirm they are authorized to receive such information, which also protects patients."
