The jobholder will undertake all mandatory training required for the role. RESPECT FOR PATIENT CONFIDENTIALITY Individual patients have an entitlement to have their affairs dealt with confidentially. There are established rules and conventions applying to professional staff and you should, where appropriate, familiarise yourself with these. In any event, no member of staff should divulge information about the identity of the medical condition of any patient to anybody who does not have a clear entitlement and need to receive it. Staff need to be aware of the Data Protection Act. Similar constraints apply to the passage of personal information about members of staff. 10. COMMUNICATION & WORKING RELATIONSHIPS It is essential that the Clerical Officer maintains and develops good working relationships with all staff.
