Job summary
The Cancer Services department is looking for an enthusiastic and well organised individual to join their team in the role of a Patient Pathway Coordinator.
This is an exciting opportunity to be part of an established service that supports the Trust's Cancer teams. We use the Somerset Cancer Register information system to collect real-time data throughout the patient's referral, diagnostic and treatment pathways. The data aids the clinical management of the patients and informs progress against the national Cancer Waiting Times standards.
The main objectives of the role are:
- Working with site-specific multi-disciplinary teams to track patients through their cancer pathway.
- Pro-actively monitor individual cancer patients to ensure that they progress through the pathway within the standard timelines and to prevent breaches of national Cancer Waiting Times standards.
- Collect and validate clinical data for mandatory cancer datasets.
- Provide appropriate cover support across the team during periods of annual leave and absence.
We require a highly motivated team player, with excellent organizational and communication skills. You will be self-motivated and will work to a consistently high standard with the ability to manage your own time. A
