Join to apply for the MDT Coordinator / Patient Tracker role at Northampton General Hospital NHS Trust
An opportunity has arisen within our enthusiastic and dedicated Cancer Services team for a permanent MDT Coordinator/Patient Tracker.
The MDT Coordinator/Patient Tracker is responsible for monitoring and tracking referrals with suspected cancer to ensure that patients’ appointments and treatment are booked to national and local cancer pathway targets.
The role is also responsible for facilitating and coordinating the functions of cancer site MDT meetings and ensuring that the meetings can run effectively and are well-structured. They will be required to live type the MDT minutes ensuring accuracy when doing so.
The successful candidate will manage and track referrals for patients with suspected and confirmed cancer to ensure that local and national cancer pathways and targets are met.
The role is responsible for facilitating and coordinating cancer site MDT meetings on a weekly basis. They will be working as part of a team of MDT Coordinators and trackers, who are committed to providing a first-class service for patients in a fast-paced environment. They will also be a core and valued administrative member of the multi-disciplinary team and therefore must be able to communicate effectively and professionally with colleagues from a range of staff groups and hospitals.
As the role is multi-functional and works within tight deadlines, the ideal candidate will be able to work on their own initiative and be both systematic and organised. The role involves using a number of electronic systems and minute-taking so a high standard of IT skills and excellent typing ability is essential.
