Medical files messenger
A messenger = a person who gives a message to sb. or who delivers messages to people as a job 送信人;郵遞員;信使。
例詞: a motorcycle messenger = 騎摩托車的郵遞員
--《牛津高階英漢雙解字典》
I would suggest to add “medical files” to “messenger”. I think this should work i.e. English-speaking readers will understand immediately the role of this staff. A staff who does not deliver anything but only medical records.
Hope this helps.

On a side note, in Taiwan, 醫院傳送員 can be hired by a hospital or outsourced to a recruitment consultancy. Hence, the job duties of 醫院傳送員 directly hired by a hospital may differ by those indirectly hired by a recruitment consultancy. In some hospitals, 醫院傳送員 may have to "take patients from their ward to consultations and back again" and so forth, in addition to the delivery of medical records and samples.

Dear Shirley Thank you so much for your help, but I guess that in my context, Medical Files Messenger would be more appropriate. Thousand thanks ! |

"The Specimen Transport courier will transfer the samples to a specimen transport container for forward delivery to the laboratories."
http://www.mtw.nhs.uk/pathology/sending-samples-to-pathology...
The role of this staff is to facilitate communication between surgeries who plays a key role in providing health care to patients in the NHS system 家庭醫生, who keeps the primary record of the patients, and that of other health or social related institutions as mentioned above.
As jarv95888 mentioned earlier, the government contracted reliable courier service to take on this job of communication as messengers. But nowadays in the UK, everything has been digitalized hence medical records as simple as blood test are transferred via a secured network without manpower as messengers. See the link below.
