Band 5 Neurosciences Bed & Operational Flow Coordinator
Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust
Applications are welcomed to join the Neurosciences Department at Queen's Hospital as a dedicated and motivated Bed & Operational Flow Coordinator.
You will be working in a fast-paced, demanding department so enthusiasm and motivation to support and facilitate a large number of new patient admissions and discharges each day is a must.
This role feeds into senior bed allocation management to ensure that our stroke, neurological and neurosurgical patients are treated in the right place, at the right time, by the right people without impacting on waiting list times or delaying patient journeys.
We are looking for a confident team member who can use their own initiative and engage with clinical teams to ensure our patients access inpatient services and do not stay in hospital for longer than necessary. You will be required to report your capacity vs demand each day and represent the senior management team at local bed management meetings so being organised is vital to successful delivery of this role.
