Description

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a highly motivated, proactive team player to join the Urology team as a Patient Pathway Co-ordinator (Admissions Officer) at Barking, Havering & Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust and within the Surgery Division.

Our Patient Pathway Co-ordinators (Admissions Officer) are vital to ensuring that patients are scheduled for surgery in line with clinical urgency, cancer waiting times and RTT.

The role requires good problem solving skills and the ability to priortise workload. Particular focus at present is on reducing the backlog.

To manage the admissions of patients on the specialty waiting list efficiently.
To effectively monitor and maintain relevant specialty waiting list(s).
To ensure the relevant information is entered promptly and accurately to the Patient Administration System (PAS) meeting the requirements of the Trust's Patient Access Policy, always.
To liaise with patients and establish good working relationships with other clerical and clinical staff.

Under the leadership of our Chair Jacqui Smith and Matthew Trainer, our Chief Executive, we provide care for the residents of three of the most diverse London boroughs.

More than half of our 7,500 strong workforce are from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups and most live in Barking and Dagenham, Havering and Redbridge.

We also provide healthcare services to people in south west Essex, and specialist neurosciences services to the whole of the county.

Our services include all the major specialties of large acute hospitals, operating from two main sites - King George Hospital in Goodmayes and Queen's Hospital in Romford.

We also provide outpatient services at Brentwood Community Hospital, Barking Hospital, Loxford Polyclinic, and Harold Wood Polyclinic. We have two of the busiest emergency departments in London.

As we recover from Covid-19, we're proud to be leading the way nationally in reducing the time our patients wait to get the treatment they need.

The pandemic provided the drive for our teams to innovate and change.

We know we have more work to do to improve waiting times for urgent and emergency care, and our performance against the four-hour emergency access standard remains challenged, in comparison to many other London trusts.

We are particularly proud of our regional Neurosciences Centre; Radiotherapy Centre; Hyper Acute Stroke Unit; and dedicated breast care service at King George Hospital.

We're also pleased to be part of the NEL Cancer Alliance.
