An opportunity has arisen, for a Cancer Information Assistant to support the delivery of key Cancer Waiting Time Standards including the newly introduced Day 28 Faster Diagnosis Target.

The role will involve supporting the Cancer Team and associated Multi Disciplinary Team to ensure that key milestones in the patient pathway are captured and recorded in a timely manner.

This will ensure that patients can be seen and managed in an efficient, thorough and appropriate way without delay. In addition the post holder will be responsible for ensuring robust data completeness for the tumour group they are responsible for to enable effective reporting against performance of key standards.

Main duties of the job

An understanding of the Cancer Waiting Times Standards and NHS systems and processes is ideal, together with IT skills, and the ability to prioritise and manage own workload.

We operate from three main hospitals-Furness General Hospital (FGH) in Barrow, the Royal Lancaster Infirmary (RLI), and Westmorland General Hospital (WGH) in Kendal, as well as a number of community healthcare premises including Millom Hospital and GP Practice, Queen Victoria Hospital in Morecambe, and Ulverston Community Health Centre.

FGH and the RLI have a range of General Hospital services, with full Emergency Departments, Critical/Coronary Care units and various Consultant-led services.

WGH provides a range of General Hospital services, together with an Urgent Treatment Centre, that can help with a range of non-life threatening conditions such as broken bones and minor illnesses.

All three main hospitals provide a range of planned care including outpatients, diagnostics, therapies, day case and inpatient surgery. In addition, a range of local outreach services and diagnostics are provided from community facilities across Morecambe Bay.
