In conjunction with the Complaints Co-ordinator, receive and review all incoming complaint communications, prioritise and initiate an investigation with the appropriate designated staff within the Trust. The post holder will need a good knowledge of the NHS Complaints Procedure, Information Governance, Freedom of Information and Data Protection.

Directly manage highly complex and sensitive complaints information and provide expert support and advice to ensure thorough complaint investigations against NHS/Trust standards to ensure timely responses and that the Trust meets the standards set by the NHS Complaints Procedure.

The post holder will also co-ordinate complaints under further local resolution and have the skills to recognise when this has been exhausted and liaison needs to take place with the Parliamentary Health Service Ombudsman.

Once a complaint is resolved, ensure that all complaint outcomes/actions are entered on Datix and when appropriate liaise with Service Managers, Clinical Directors and Medical Directors with regard to completed action plans.

Respond positively and promptly to patient enquiries, which may include highly sensitive and contentious information. Issues often require immediate action; therefore this would include liaising with other staff within the Trust and also often includes external age
