Cancer Pathway Tracker

5 months ago

London, United Kingdom Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust Full time

Applications are invited for a MDT Tracker hosted within the Surgery and Cancer at Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust. This post provides an
opportunity to join an enthusiastic Cancer Services team within the Trust. This is a key post within cancer services and an exciting opportunity to coordinate the ongoing work and service development across our integrated organisation. We are looking for an innovative, enthusiastic and dynamic individual who is well organised and motivated to join our cancer data team.

The role is based at Lewisham Hospital with potential cross cover at Queen Elizabeth Hospital.

The post holder will ensure that the patient’s pathways are tracked fully and that the data collected is of high quality to ensure that national and local targets are delivered. This involves navigating patients through their pathways to treatment or discharge, ensuring that all patients are escalated in a timely manner to managers & clinical teams when needed and coordinating the preparation and chairing of MDM meetings, with the aim of improving the care and experience of cancer patients treated within the Trust.

Experience within cancer services and knowledge of Cancer Waiting Times guidance and working knowledge of Somerset would be desirable as well as a good understanding of patient pathway navigation. In return we can offer you an interesting and rewarding opportunity to make a valuable contribution to the delivery of patient services.

Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust is a community focused provider of local and acute care, providing high quality services to over one million people living across the London boroughs of Lewisham, Greenwich and Bexley. With a turnover of around £700 million, we provide services at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Woolwich, University Hospital Lewisham and a range of community settings in Lewisham. We also provide some services at Queen Mary’s Hospital in Sidcup.

As an organisation, we’ve made significant improvements for patients and staff in the last two and-a-half years. This is reflected in our most recent Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspection (from February 2020), which found improvements across the organisation and gave us an improved rating of “Good” in the Well-Led and Effective domains, in addition to the rating of “Good” that we had already achieved in the Caring domain. Our staff culture change programme has been key to the Trust’s improvement journey, as we’ve stabilised our workforce by reducing vacancy rates and improving staff retention. We’ve also significantly increased the representation of minority ethnic leaders across our clinical and corporate teams.
