Colchester Essex, United Kingdom East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust Full time

We are piloting and developing a new innovative pre-diagnostic hub clinical nurse specialist service at Colchester Hospital and this is your chance as a nurse to be part of its development and make a difference to our patients on cancer pathways.

We are looking for a Registered Nurse, who is interested in working in oncology, to join the team and develop their skills. This post is part time 30 hours per week.

The hub is being created to coordinate faster diagnosis and the safe tracking of patients with suspected or a confirmed cancer diagnosis.

We are testing a new way of working by merging the pre-diagnosis service with non-site specific and developing pathway management for patients included on the GRAIL Trial, Cancer of Unknown Primary (CUP) and Malignancy or Metastatic disease of Unknown Origin (MUO).

The pilot's goal is to improve referral and diagnostic pathways. The hub will improve patient experience, access to services and waiting times on diagnostic pathways. The aim is to achieve the national objective of earlier diagnosis and support patients safely through this part of the pathway. Patients will be identified through AOS, Patient Tracking Lists (PTL) and liaison with the cancer performance and clinical teams.

This post is fixed term until 31st March 2025. Internal applicants currently employed by ESNEFT will be offered on a secondment basis only. Please ensure you have discussed this with your line manager.

Main duties of the job


  • To support clinical teams by facilitating patient access to various diagnostic tests and support co-ordination of the pathway in accordance with agreed guidance
  • To track and monitor diagnostic tests and results for identified patients, escalating abnormalities to the responsible clinical tea
  • To monitor red flag symptoms of patients on complex or long pathways, flagging any concerns to the responsible clinician, maximising patient safety and outcome
  • To provide information and psychological support, advising patients and their loved ones of expected next step
  • To facilitate transfer of nursing care to the relevant key worker if a cancer is diagnosed, or support discharge back to their GP if benign or otherwise indicate
  • To undertake holistic needs assessments of identified patients, enabling timely support and advocacy of patients' personalised care needs
  • To support the CNS team with the establishment of the clinical hub, ensuring the service runs within agreed guidelines.
