The post holder will provide a pivotal administrative and secretarial service to consultants and their clinical teams.
They will work flexibly with the other team members within the Children's Hospital Unit and provide a professional, efficient administrative service to patients.
While the post holder will be formally identified as either a Medical Secretary or Patient Pathway Coordinator, in recognition of their specific function within each Clinical Support Unit, this job description has been designed to function as a generic description for both roles. This is in recognition of the combined nature of the role in certain departments, and of the expectation of full cross-cover within unit teams.
Local policies and processes will more closely define the day to day requirements of each role.
To be the main point of contact for all patients issues relating to their pathway of care.

To ensure high levels of patient and clinician satisfaction by being an accessible, customer focussed and knowledgeable point of contact.

Provide comprehensive secretarial/PA support to consultants and clinical teams within the Children’s Hospital Unit.
To routinely attend performance review meetings and ensure that agreed actions and outcomes are requested, documented and monitored.
To be responsible for booking and sending out-patient, admission appointment letters and telephoning patients as required.
