- Ensure that patients/referrals/results are booked into the relevant clinics/triaging sessions/results review sessions and move smoothly through the pathway.
- Supporting and delivering appointment booking and arrangements (communication needs, translation, transport, other required adjustments), plus responding directly to basic patient queries on the CDC service, right through to successful appointment(s) completion and collating patient feedback.
- Providing post appointment support with any further ad-hoc patient queries.
