You will be familiar with the data protection act and responsible for maintaining patient confidentiality. The department works in line with a number of the government targets around patient waiting time and would suit someone who is familiar with challenging but rewarding targets.

Recognising that our 5000 colleagues are our greatest strength, we offer a comprehensive health and wellbeing program along with a commitment to developing and advancing your career. Our diverse and welcoming Royal Surrey family will ensure you that you feel valued from your initial interview through your entire tenure.

We are clinically led and provide joined up care by bridging the gap between hospital and community services alongside regional specialist cancer care. Our main acute hospital site is in Guildford with community hospital sites at Milford, Haslemere and Cranleigh. We provide adult community health services in homes across Guildford and Waverley.

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) have given us an overall rating of Outstanding.

Royal Surrey has a strong reputation and history to build on. We are proud of our achievements and we are investing in our colleagues through our commitment to supporting professional development as well as investing more than £45 million in our physical environment and new equipment in the next few years.

KEY RESULT AREAS/MAIN DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
1. To register the referral and patient details on Cerner PAS ensuring a high level of data accuracy and amending inaccurate data e.g. change of patient contact details or surname.

2. The post holder will also be required to have a good working knowledge of the eReferral System (eRS).

3. To highlight any referrals which require urgent attention and deal with them promptly. This can sometimes involve discussions with the medical team directly to arrange where the patient needs to be booked.

7. Link with other clinical services as appropriate for the patient’s needs to ensure that the patient’s requirements for diagnostic tests are met before the patient attends an outpatient appointment e.g. MRI scans.

8. Deal with patients in a mature manner when speaking to them on the phone. This may sometimes involve dealing with distressed patients and a sensitive and re-assuring approach is required in difficult situations.

9. Have a detailed understanding of the principles of patient confidentiality, data protection and safeguarding. These principles should be maintained at all times.

10. Be responsible for cancelling and re-scheduling patients at the request of the consultants or their team when they take annual/study/professional leave.

11. If the clinic is under 6 week notice, then ensuring that the specialty are compliant with the policy and that Associate Director or Operations approval is obtained prior to the cancellation of the activity, this will involve liaison with the specialty and escalation to the Outpatient Service Manager if required.

12. Monitor Outpatient clinics on a weekly basis to ensure correct utilisation of appointment slots and to liaise with the Appointment Centre Team Leader or department staff if clinic appointments are being under-utilised.

13. Have an up to date and competent understanding of referral-to-treatment (RTT) priorities; this includes waiting times by specialty and policies involving patient choice. Be open to future changes involving the booking of appointments and attend training when necessary.
