Reference: 2315994
Job summary
The Cancer Services department is looking for an enthusiastic and well organised individual to join their team in the role of a Patient Pathway Coordinator.
This is an exciting opportunity to be part of an established service that supports the Trust's Cancer teams. We use the Somerset Cancer Register information system to collect real-time data throughout the patient's referral, diagnostic and treatment pathways. The data aids the clinical management of the patients and informs progress against the national Cancer Waiting Times standards.
The main objectives of the role are:
- Working with site-specific multi-disciplinary teams to track patients through their cancer pathway.
- Pro-actively monitor individual cancer patients to ensure that they progress through the pathway within the standard timelines and to prevent breaches of national Cancer Waiting Times standards.
- Collect and validate clinical data for mandatory cancer datasets.
- Provide appropriate cover support across the team during periods of annual leave and absence.
We require a highly motivated team player, with excellent organizational and communication skills. You will be self-motivated and will work to a consistently high standard with the ability to manage your own time. A willingness to learn skills and the ability to work as a member of the multidisciplinary team, communicating effectively with staff at all levels will make the job an exciting and rewarding challenge.
Main duties of the job
You will be responsible for working with site-specific multi-disciplinary teams to ensure that national data and reporting requirements are met. This will involve actively monitoring, reporting, and entering data onto the Trust cancer database.
Working as a member of the Cancer Services Department, and in collaboration with others, ensure an integrated process by which the active management (tracking) of patients with cancer and the active live collection and inputting of data supports Trust compliance with National Cancer Waiting Times.
As a named link between the Cancer Services Department and site-specific multidisciplinary teams, ensure that potential breaches of the Cancer Waiting Times standard are highlighted and escalated according to Trust policy.
Provide appropriate cover support to Cancer Services working with other sites, 2 week wait referrals, histology reports, chemotherapy data sheets and radiotherapy referrals as indicated.
About us
There's never been a more exciting time to join TeamQEH. We're working on a once in a generation opportunity to build a new state-of-the-art hospital to open in 2030 and we are also carrying out on one of the biggest pieces of digital transformation work we've ever undertaken.Our new electronic patient record (EPR) will replace paper-based patient records from 2026 and will lead to better, safer, joined-up care at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital and beyond.At The QEH we provide a comprehensive range of specialist, acute, obstetrics and community-based services to around 331,000 people across west and north Norfolk, North Cambs and South Lincs.We are an ambitious organisation that upholds our values of kindness, wellness and fairness. We strive for continuous quality improvement, recently demonstrated in our 2024 CQC maternity inspection rating our services as 'Good', and we are proud to be a place to learn and grow through recognised learning and apprenticeships.We recognise and reward our 4,000 staff and volunteers, priding ourselves on a community atmosphere and positive team spirit. We have approx. 530 beds across 33 wards and have newly built education and training facilities, a range of modern award-winning centres alongside a talented team of people ready to give you a warm welcome. We love working here and think you will too.
