We are looking for 2 x Band 4 (22.5 hours per week) individuals to support us in the management of our large skin cancer patient caseload. We look after patients with a variety of skin cancers including melanoma and squamous cell carcinomas. The incidence of skin cancers is increasing every year and so too is our workload.
You will be working with currently 7 skin cancer Clinical Nurse Specialists who are very supportive. We are looking for somebody who is well organised, can prioritise and has the ability to work to deadlines. You will be expected to communicate with patients, organise appointments, and liaise with the wider multi-disciplinary team.
Responsibilities:
1. Maintain a database of outstanding patient procedures and scans according to requests from the CNS (clinical nurse specialist).
2. Check for results on a daily basis and then notify and escalate to the relevant professional accordingly.
3. Assess the priority of patient queries or tasks from patient databases and pass this information on to the relevant CNS, doctor or department, or deal with them yourself if within scope of practice.
4. Maintain a database of all patients under routine skin cancer follow up and ensure that their appointments are booked on time, escalating to a CNS or appointment booking coordinator if not.
5. Be aware of which CNS team members are available each day to ensure tasks and information are being passed on appropriately.
6. Maintain other necessary databases regarding the welfare of children, young people, and vulnerable adults.
