Chesterfield, United Kingdom Chesterfield Royal Hospital NHS Foundation Trust Full time

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a highly motivated and proactive individual to contribute to the co-ordination of the care provided to cancer patients.

Our cancer pathway team keeps track of all the suspected and diagnosed cancer patients making sure they are seen and treated as soon as possible and within national cancer waiting time targets. We support the weekly multi-disciplinary team meetings and as an integral member of these teams you will be involved in managing the pathway accurately in the preparation and collation of clinical information as well as the meticulous capture of cancer data for national clinical audits. Previous experience is not essential as training will be provided.

You will need to be a good communicator as you will be dealing with clinical and administrative teams both within and across other Trusts.

You will be joining at an exciting time as we continue to expand and improve our Cancer waiting times for Patients. We are looking for someone who is passionate about delivering earlier cancer pathways by ensuring a co-ordinated and smooth service for patients through their pathway.

The core purpose of this role is to support the team of MDT Coordinators in providing efficient, patient centered pathways to help meet the demanding cancer targets. This will ensure coordination of the patient journey and accurate data collection for all tumour sites.

The post holder will work with the MDT Coordinators to ensure that all relevant patients have accurate data collection and validation to enable effective patient tracking of all suspected and positively diagnosed cancer patients in line with the Cancer Waiting Times and COSD guidelines. This role will be focusing on the new 28 day target and using the tracking and electronic recording systems currently in use by the Trust, to ensure that patients do not breach any targets set currently or in the future.

The post holder will be supporting the team of MDT Coordinators in all aspects of their role from MDT preparation to tracking patients through the patient journey. The post holder must be able to communicate sensitively and effectively with a wide range of people including other colleagues, medical and nursing staff, other outside agencies and other departments throughout the Trust.

Our Vision is to be a first-class provider of sustainable healthcare services, delivering the best possible care for our patients; and being a great place to work for our people. Our Proud to CARE philosophy supports this vision - and we all play a part in achieving it, by living up to the values we promise to our patients and each other. As members of staff we will always:
COMPASSION - treating everyone with kindness - welcoming diversity and inclusion, considering individual needs; and challenging inappropriate behaviours outside of our values

AMBITION - Aspiring to be the best - reaching high standards, providing exceptional care and services; and achieving measurable improvements in people’s health and wellbeing

RESPECT - Valuing and appreciating everyone - listening, learning and acting on their experiences, being open and honest; and recognising that working with others brings benefits

ENCOURAGEMENT- Opportunities for all - supporting education and development, helping people to bring their improvement ideas to life and speak-up; and getting everyone involved in our future
