We have an exciting Medical Secretary position, working 37.5 hours per week as part of the Gynaecology Medical Secretary/Administration team.
The key requirements for this position are the AMSPAR qualification or previous medical secretary experience.
We are a friendly, fun, and supportive team, looking for someone who is a team player and has experience managing 18-week pathways, plus knowledge of patient information systems and other relevant IT systems. Personal organization, great communication skills, and the ability to prioritize workloads to juggle the ever-changing priorities of the NHS are essential, as is experience working in a fast-paced environment.
Responsibilities include:
1. Actively managing the administrative processes associated with patient pathways and contributing to the effectiveness of clinical teams (including patient experience, patient flow, and waiting list management) for specialty teams.
2. Coordinating, navigating, and tracking a caseload of patients efficiently and effectively through their care pathway (i.e., outpatients, day case, diagnostics, and inpatients) from referral to treatment and discharge for Gynaecology.
3. Providing secretarial and administrative support to Consultants and clinical teams to support the delivery of high-quality coordinated and integrated care, including liaison with patients, carers, GPs, and other service users.
Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust (SWBT) is an integrated care organization with a budget of approximately £600 million and over 7,000 staff. Diversity and social care are at the core of what we do as the Trust provides Community and Acute Services to over half a million people in an urban center that demands massive regeneration and has substantial premature mortality.
Our new acute hospital, the Midland Metropolitan University Hospital (MMUH), opens in 2024 and will provide care to our local population from first-class, purpose-built premises. As a result, the base of this role may change to MMUH from 2024 (or beyond). If this is applicable to your role, you will be informed during the recruitment process and continuing your application with this understanding. The development of the new hospital will play an important role in the regeneration of the wider area and in improving the lives of local people and reducing health inequalities.
We have three newly emerging strategic objectives:
1. Our People – to cultivate and sustain happy, productive, and engaged staff.
2. Our Patients – to be good or outstanding in everything we do.
3. Our Population – to work seamlessly with our partners to improve lives.
