The post holder will explore and identify unusual or missing demographic data items and liaise with users across the Cancer Directorate and Trust over a variety of data quality issues, explaining errors, discussing impact and ensuring corrections are made. Monitor patient demographic details on all locally registered patient records by using multiple source systems. This is necessary to obtain a single unique instance of each patient for use in the NHSCR (electronic patient record).
