You will also have the opportunity to mentor less experienced members of the clinical coding team.

As a department we can offer clinical coders a comprehensive training and development structure through strong leadership, an in-house training programme delivered through a Terminology and Classifications Delivery Service Approved Clinical Coding Trainer, and CPD for clinical coders and ACC coders, developing existing skills and learning new ones.

The department offers a flexible approach to varied working patterns to suit individual personal commitments and believes fully in a healthy work/life balance.

This will include extractinginformation from various clinical documents and translating into diagnostic and procedure coding, data collection, participating in coding audits and the provision of high quality information required by the trust in a timely and accurate manner.

To comply with national and local standards for clinical coding and to follow standards of service, policies and procedures as laid down in the Health Records Accreditation Programme.
