Summary
The Ophthalmology service at Whipps Cross hospital is excited to present an exciting opportunity for a new Band 4 Glaucoma Failsafe Officer to join our team.
In this position, you will oversee a range of automated reports and waiting lists to ensure that patients receive timely and urgent care. Your responsibilities will also include implementing precautionary measures to prevent any potential issues or incidents.
The role demands a systematic and detail-oriented approach, along with the capacity to effectively prioritise and organise tasks. Proficiency in Excel is crucial for analysing Failsafe Spreadsheets and databases. The ability to work independently and collaboratively with various teams is vital. Strong communication skills are essential for interactions with both patients and multi-disciplinary clinical teams.
This will be for a fixed 1-year contract, with a possibility of extending.
Glaucoma services are specifically designed to mitigate the risk of vision impairment for individuals affected by these conditions. This is achieved through a comprehensive approach that prioritises early detection and timely treatment. By identifying and addressing glaucoma at its earliest stages, we endeavour to safeguard and enhance the visual health and quality of life for our patients, ultimately aiming to preserve their long-term vision.
The failsafe processes are being expanded to include additional high-impact areas in Glaucoma care. This ensures that if any deviations occur in patient pathways, established protocols swiftly address and secure a reliable course of action.
