Cancer Data Officer

4 weeks ago

Sutton, United Kingdom The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust Full time

We are looking for a self-motivated, analytical, enthusiastic individual to join the busy Information Team based in Sutton, Surrey.

The successful applicant will ensure relevant patient information relating to diagnoses and waiting time targets is collected and recorded accurately, escalating any issues as appropriate. The role would be a good opportunity for a new graduate or someone looking to embark upon a career in Data in a non-clinical setting within the NHS.

The successful applicant will possess the ability to concentrate for prolonged periods of time under mínimal supervision, prioritising workload in order to meet deadlines. The ability to deal with high volumes of data validation and data entry is essential.

Excellent communication skills are required for this post together with a high level of accuracy and attention to detail. A good knowledge of Microsoft Excel/Outlook/Access and well as an understanding of some elements of medical terminology would be advantageous.
- The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust is a centre of excellence for cancer care and has developed an advanced information system which allows capture of clinical patient activity. Structured data is required to help manage the Trust’s performance and support clinical audit. Most of the patient record is now stored on the Trust’s Hospital Information System (HIS), but much of this is textual and not in a suitable form for data analysis. Coded data is required on a number of clinical factors, particularly diagnosis, stage of disease and treatment with particular emphasis on data required to enable cancer waiting times to be monitored effectively. The main function of this post is to collect accurate, complete and up to date data. This involves interpreting clinical data, entering it onto the computer and liaising with other departments to help interpret the data. Some of the data collected will need to be coded using NHS coding systems.
- In addition, robust processes need to be in place to assure the quality of data entered by users in various roles across the Trust. The second function of the post is to participate in this quality assurance by producing lists of missing and inaccurate data, feeding back on systematic errors, and in some circumstances updating data directly

he Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust is a world-leading cancer centre. Our role is to offer our patients the best cancer care available anywhere in the world, and to continue to make a global contribution to finding better ways of diagnosing and treating cancer. We employ over 4,500 staff in a diverse range of careers including nursing, medical, science, radiography, pharmacy, occupational therapy, finance and administrative services. We have two hospitals - one in Chelsea, London, and one in Sutton, Surrey - as well as a Medical Daycare Unit in Kingston Hospital.

At The Royal Marsden, we deal with cancer every day, so we understand how valuable life is. When people entrust their lives to us, they have the right to demand the very best. That's why the pursuit of excellence lies at the heart of everything we do.

At the heart of the hospital is our dedicated team. We offer a stimulating and dynamic working environment, a wide range of staff benefits, learning and development opportunities and clear career pathways. There are opportunities to work flexibly across a range of areas and specialities and we welcome flexible working requests from point of hire to support employees work life balance. We are looking for employees who aspire to excellence, share our values and can play a crucial role in our on-going achievements.

For further information on this role, please see the attached detailed Job Description and Person Specification.
- To extract, analyse and interpret clinical information from case notes and other sources according to defined requirements using in-depth knowledge of medical pathways and the diagnosis and treatment of cancer.
- To enter this information into the Trust’s Hospital Information System (HIS), ensuring that accurate and complete data is entered in a timely manner to enable the monitoring of cancer waiting times and referral to treatment targets.
- Use value judgement to ensure that data interpretation is consistent, correct, coded correctly, and is interpreted in line with NHS definitions and guidance.
