Upper Gi Patient Pathway Navigator

6 months ago


Royal Tunbridge Wells, United Kingdom Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust Full time

The post holder will be the point of contact for the next steps in patient pathways following a cancer referral/diagnosis. The post holder will co-ordinate with the clinical team to arrange the next steps in the pathway and will communicate these to the patient. The post holder will communicate questions and queries from the patient to the clinical team and provide the appropriate response to the patient.

The post holder will be responsible for ensuring that progress in the pathway is recorded in the database system and that updates are added to the system in a timely manner.

You must have knowledge of the 62 day cancer pathway and a broad knowledge of the upper GI cancer pathway.

The role is demanding so you must be confident, assertive and have the ability to multi-task and remain calm under pressure. You will need good listening and communication skills and be able to deal with people both internally and externally in a sensitive and professional manner. The ability to maintain confidentiality and adhere to Trust policies is paramount.

You will have experience in patient pathway management and will be confident using patient administration systems. Excellent team working, organisational and communication skills are all essential for this post, along with clear experience of resolving problems.

Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust is a large acute hospital Trust in the county of Kent.

The Trust provides a full range of general hospital services and some areas of specialist complex care to around 760,000 people living in the south part of West Kent and the north part of East Sussex.
