Pre-Diagnosis Cancer Nurse Specialist - Colchester, United Kingdom - East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust
Description
Job overview
We are piloting and developing a new innovative pre-diagnostic hub clinical nurse specialist service at Colchester Hospital and this is your chance as a nurse to be part of its development and make a difference to our patients on cancer pathways.
We are looking for a Clinical Nurse Specialist Nurse to provide leadership to our new service and play a key role in it's development. This post is part time hours per week.
The hub is being created to coordinate faster diagnosis and the safe tracking of patients with suspected or a confirmed cancer diagnosis.
We are testing a new way of working by merging the pre-diagnosis service with non-site specific and developing pathway management for patients included on the GRAIL Trial, Cancer of Unknown Primary (CUP) and Malignancy or Metastatic disease of Unknown Origin (MUO).
The pilot's goal is to improve referral and diagnostic pathways. The hub will improve patient experience, access to services and waiting times on diagnostic pathways. The aim is to achieve the national objective of earlier diagnosis and support patients safely through this part of the pathway. Patients will be identified through AOS, Patient Tracking Lists (PTL) and liaison with the cancer performance and clinical teams.
This post is fixed term until 31st March 2025. Internal applicants currently employed by ESNEFT will be offered on a secondment basis only. Please ensure you have discussed this with your line manager.
