The Unit Clerk is a vital member of the interdisciplinary healthcare team, responsible for managing the full scope of administrative operations on designated care, treatment, and unit care areas.

In rare or exceptional circumstances, and in the interest of maintaining seamless, effective, and patient centred care, the Unit Clerk may provide limited assistance to clinical colleagues within the boundaries of their training, skills, and established role.
