Cancer Pathway Navigator
3 months ago
An exciting and new opportunity has become available within our cancer team working as a pathway navigator. The role of the Cancer Pathway Navigator is to provide effective, caring and compassionate advice and interventions to optimise patients’ timely access to cancer services, through close working with patients and multidisciplinary teams in primary and secondary care.
You will predominantly support the patients’ journey from their initial referral to first appointment and then through to diagnosis or discharge. You will be providing information, offering support, and acting as a key contact to ensure that hospital appointments and diagnostic tests are suitable and timely and that the patients are able to attend.
The role will require highlighting any potential pathway delays and working in collaboration with the relevant clinical teams and cancer services team to mitigate delays
The post holder will be required to work with the clinical teams to ensure that the patient and carer experience is central to every stage of their pathway.
Acting as the first point of contact for patients, relatives and carers
- Work with patients, families and carers to ensure they are informed, available and prepared for all appointments and investigations supporting rapid diagnosis.
- Signpost patients and their representatives from vulnerable groups to local resources that support patient access to cancer services such as transport, advocacy and buddy systems.
- Work with booking teams managing two-week wait referrals for suspected cancer to optimise patient flow and identify areas for improvement.
- In conjunction with the Cancer Nurse Specialists (CNS)/AHP’s, and Cancer Care Co-ordinators provide co-ordination of high quality patient care through on-going telephone/face to face contacts and proactive identification of needs.
- Collaborate and communicate with the wider Health Care and Cancer Services Team to ensure the provision of appropriate services to maximise the health and quality of life for people affected by cancer, improving the quality and efficiency of health care delivery and achievement of the 62 day target
- Work closely with MDT co-ordinators and cancer trackers as appropriate to ensure timely and efficient progress of patient care to prevent breaches of cancer waiting time targets.
Working with the wider MDT and cancer services teams to improve current pathways and processes resulting in better quality care and outcomes for people affected by cancer.
At North Tees & Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust our main priority is, and always will be, to provide safe and high quality care to our patients every day; the kind of care we would want for ourselves and our loved ones. We want our organisation to be the best place to work with the right staff, in the right roles, at the right time, to ensure we deliver exceptional patient care and experience.
We will support staff through providing an inclusive and supportive workplace with health and well-being initiatives, staff benefits and opportunities for personal and professional development. Staff recognition is very important to us; as well as performance reviews and appraisals, we recognise staff through Star and Team of the month, colleague recognition - a note of thanks, Managers Awards, Shining Stars and Service Awards.
