Cancer Pathway Tracker
7 months ago
We are looking for a vibrant, confident person to join the team to help deliver a high quality service in the MDT Team at Colchester Hospital.
Do you have excellent administration skills, an eye for detail, the tenacity to ‘go that extra mile’ in a very busy environment and care about patients that may be facing a diagnosis of cancer.
Colchester and Ipswich hospitals have recently merged to form East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust and we are now looking to recruit new members to join our team of Multidisciplinary Team Coordinators (MDTC’s) at the Colchester site.
If you think that you have the level of commitment and the skill set that this role requires then we would love to hear from you.
The role of a pathway tracker is an ideal first step towards becoming a fully trained Band 4 MDT Coordinator and internal developmental opportunities await the right applicant.
It’s the responsibility of each MDTC to track the pathway of patients who have been referred to hospital urgently, to rule out the possibility that they may have cancer.
It is essential that all patients referred in on a 2 week wait (suspicion of cancer) pathway have every stage of the treatment tracked on a daily basis to make sure that they received a diagnosis within 28 days and where found to have cancer, their treatment, within 34 days of receiving that diagnosis.
The role of the Pathway Tracker is to make sure that they review progress by tracking the patient using either Somerset Cancer Registry or Infoflex, through the various hospital diagnostic systems, updating all the clinical teams when the information is available and ensuring that it is all available for the weekly MDT meetings, escalating any delays to the operational teams.
We are ESNEFT and we provide hospital and community health services to almost one million people across east Suffolk and north Essex. Our dedicated staff deliver care from acute hospitals in Colchester and Ipswich, community hospitals, surgeries, community clinics and in patients’ own homes.
We are the largest NHS organisation in East Anglia, employing more than 12,000 staff.
We pride ourselves on supporting our staff. We offer a wide range of training and development opportunities, as well as flexible working options.
Along with supporting you to achieve your career goals we offer a generous pension scheme, unsocial hours payments (where applicable), 27 days annual leave on commencement (pro rata) and access to a range of NHS discounts. Our Staff Health and Wellbeing programme offer a variety of services.
Our philosophy is that Time Matters to everyone. Across the Trust, we concentrate on improving the things we do and removing those which cause time delays for our staff and patients.
We are investing in our commitment to Time Matters with a partnership with leading electronic patient record (EPR) supplier Epic. This digital transformation will bring what’s widely regarded as the world’s best EPR system to ESNEFT, transforming life in hospital for staff and patients.
If you are passionate about patient care and want to develop your skills and knowledge, then we want to hear from you.
For full details of the responsibilities and duties of this role please see the attached job description.
