Receive all requests for radiotherapy treatment (referral and consent forms, histology and clinic letters) and requests for transport and/or interpreters and record the information on the database and scan the relevant documents into ARiA.

Register patients on ARIA and Medway if not already registered.

Ensure patient hospital event packs are tracked appropriately, if needed to be retained by the department and are available for submission with the radiotherapy referral forms.

Interpret (analyse and judge) information that is provided by the referring consultant on the radiotherapy referral forms to ensure that the patients receive the correct appointment scheduling regime for their diagnosis.

Interpret the data provided by the referring consultant to ensure that the national and local cancer waiting targets are achieved and record appropriately on the Trust IT system.

Activate any pending radiotherapy referral forms and make appropriate pre-treatment, treatment and review appointments taking into consideration any transport, consultant planning times and patient requests.

Schedule patients into the ARIA system for a course of Radiotherapy treatment and other related appointments e.g. chemo and surgery regimes, taking account of other treatment modalities that may impinge on the treatment appointment timescale. This requires multiple appointments booking into a complex patient pathway taking into account the various treatment options and routes that a patient may require, to achieve the desired outcome.

Schedule patients into radiographer and/or consultants’ review/ follow up clinics ensuring that these are at the correct point during the patient’s treatment regime and are appropriate to consultant’s workload and link with radiotherapy treatment appointments times and action any requests as required post review.

Ensure that the treatment units and pre-treatment areas are booked to maximum capacity.

Identify and resolve any scheduling conflicts and problems liaising with

consultants, treatment machine radiographers and managers to book/rebook any appointments.

Ensure that all palliative and radical appointments are made within the correct waiting times and highlight any breaches to the Admin Manager and/or

Radiotherapy Manager whilst entering the correct waiting codes and reasons where appropriate.

Book any interpreters needed for specific appointments.

Contact patient or appropriate hospital/ hospice by telephone and confirm by letter to advise of details of appointments and transport arrangements.

Check for information that may be requested by the consultant on the referral form.

Request any scans (reports and images)/ notes/ letters from relevant hospitals/departments as appropriate and record the details
