4 weeks ago
Position Overview
The successful candidate will collaborate with the referring and Gastrointestinal Radiology teams to oversee the pre-assessment and management of care for patients referred for colorectal imaging procedures.

The coordinator will manage the service, engaging with the patient, referring physician, and radiology team regarding specific patient needs related to bowel preparation and appointment attendance.
Key Responsibilities

These challenges primarily involve the necessity for patients to complete bowel preparation at home prior to their imaging procedure, as well as ensuring timely attendance under the established cancer referral pathways. This position is designed to assist patients in navigating the complexities associated with these tests and to facilitate their care coordination prior to their hospital visit.

- Conduct pre-assessments for all patients referred for colorectal imaging to ensure:
- Patients fully comprehend the reasons for their referral.
- Patients are aware of the timeline associated with their referral pathway and have confirmed their appointment details.
- Patients know the location of their imaging appointment and have arranged transportation.
- Patients understand the procedure and its requirements.
- Patients have received and comprehend the bowel preparation instructions.
- All patient inquiries and concerns regarding the procedure are addressed.
Radiology-Specific Responsibilities
