Job is going to be help out secretaries with medical records/documents etc.

Other than being asked about what I put on form/criteria set out in job description, what are they likely to ask me? I'm not going to be dealing with patients at all.

TIA

Stress confidentiality is paramount and mention data protection act if you can.

yes, find out everything about the date protection act.

also they might ask a scenario along hte lines of what would you do if you suspected a colleague was not treating patient information as confidential ie. blabbing down the pub.

thanks for the heads up about dpa/confidentiality, am now looking through the
NHS Care record guarantee.

stress how time off to have babies etc(assuming that's where you're coming from?) has really improved your organisational skills and ability to multi-task etc and that you have learnt how to juggle lots of tasks simultaneously etc.

thanks thirty, you are quite right, I've not spent the last 8 years banged up!

dragon - would the answer to that be - to try and deal with it at the pub, and then if necessary to talk to manager about it?
