Colorectal Stratified Follow-up Co-ordinator and Admin Support

The Colorectal Cancer Service KCHFT is provided at both the Denmark Hill and Orpington South Sites which covers a large geographic area covering South East London boroughs of Southwark, Lambeth and Lewisham.

The Colorectal Team at the Princess Royal University Hospital is situated on the Surgical Floor (Level 2, North Wing). The Colorectal Service serves the population of Bromley, which is the largest borough of London. The Colorectal Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) at the PRUH site serves the 300,000+ population of the London Borough of Bromley. In addition, referrals are commonly received from Bexley, Sidcup, Sevenoaks, and Westerham.

Both units combined diagnose in excess of 400 new colorectal (bowel) cancer patients each year. As a part of the National Cancer Strategy, a new pathway for bowel cancer patients has been developed and rolled out across London and England.

Stratified follow-up is a model of aftercare that addresses the unique needs of the individual living after a cancer diagnosis and also empowers individuals to self-manage their health. Implementation of stratified follow-up with a focus on self-management reduces the frequency of hospital based follow-up appointments, and ensures that patients are at the centre of their self-management, by steering individuals onto the best pathway to meet their specific needs.

Help coordinate the patients who are going on to stratified follow up for LGI Cancer.

Book all patients appropriately on to the specialist Remote Monitoring system.

Track all bowel cancer patients who are on stratified follow up across Kings and PRUH – ensuring Colonoscopy and CT scans are being managed and reviewed at appropriate intervals, and to raise cancer follow-up surveillance results to clinicians so a correspondence can be sent to the patient and their GP in a timely manner.
