Description

An opportunity has arisen for a Patient Flow Coordinator on ward A6.

Ward A6 is a 28 bedded surgical receiving ward taking direct admissions from accident and emergency, clinics and SACRU. Ward A6 provides care to mixed surgical specialty, including general surgery, urology, orthopedics and ENT.

Good discharge planning starts on admission and is essential for ensuring a smooth transition of care back into the community.

As a patient flow assistant you will be required to assess a patients usual/pre admission support in the community and to liaise with the multidisciplinary team during the patients admission to ensure the right support is requested and confirmed for discharge.

Working for Manchester Foundation Trust will provide you with many benefits including working in a diverse community, opportunities to develop through local hospital training programmes.

Public transport is well established and funding may be accessed to help with transport costs.

A6 is a Mixed Specialty Surgical receiving unit caring for a wide variety of patients.

The multi-professional team (nursing, medical and therapy teams) work closely together to provide a patient-centered and coordinated service which supports the timely discharge of patients following surgery, as well as ensuring that MFT meets the 4 hour target for our patients who are admitted as an emergency through the Emergency Department.

The role of Patient Flow Coordinator is a busy and varied one where the work will change to meet the needs of the service.

This role includes clinical patient contact, and you will be integral to supporting the admission and discharge process and support a team of multi-disciplinary clinicians.

You will regularly liaise with multi-agency services, including Social Services and the private sector to ensure our patients safety is kept paramount beyond discharge from our care.

MFT is one of the largest NHS Trust In England with a turnover of £2.6bn & is on a different scale than most other NHS Trusts.

We're creating an exceptional integrated health & social care system for the 1 million patients who rely on our services every year.

Bringing together 10 hospitals & community services from across Manchester, Trafford & beyond, we champion collaborative working & transformation, encouraging our 28,000 workforce to pursue their most ambitious goals.

We set standards that other Trusts seek to emulate so you'll benefit from a scale of opportunity that is nothing short of extraordinary.

We've also created a digitally enabled organisation to improve clinical quality, patient & staff experience, operational effectiveness & driving research, and innovation through the introduction of Hive; our Electronic Patient Record system which launched in September 2022.

We're proud to be a major academic Research Centre & Education provider, providing you with a robust infrastructure to encourage and facilitate high-quality research programmes.

What's more, we're excited to be embarking on our Green Plan which sets out how MFT continues to play its part in making healthcare more sustainable.
