Gloucester, United Kingdom Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Full time

Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is committed to meeting all targets within the Referral to Treatment (RTT) patient pathway. The RTT target requires the Trust to measure the total period waited by each patient and to manage each patient’s journey from referral to treatment in a timely and efficient manner.

Providing accurate information on the length of pathways is essential; improvements to services rely on information being reliable and being provided as close to real-time as possible.
