As a ward clerk at the NHS, most of your work will likely require you to use a computer. This question allows the interviewer to see how you react when faced with a problem that will significantly impact you and your ability to do the job. Demonstrate that you can remain calm in a stressful situation like this, troubleshoot common problems, and take action to overcome the challenge.

"Technical problems occur from time to time, so if this were to happen, I would first see if it was just my computer that was not working or if all office computers were down. If a patient needed assistance and all computers were down, I would let them know we were having a technical issue, and I would either take hand notes or let them know I would be back with them shortly. I would quickly troubleshoot basic possibilities like making sure cords were plugged in and the power source was on. If I could not quickly assess the problem, I would call IT immediately so they were notified of the situation and could begin assisting."
