• To provide a full secretarial and administrative support service to the clinical / medical teams, often being the first point of contact for patients. The role is intrinsically linked to the patient journey by supporting the clinical multi-disciplinary team.
• To monitor and ensure clinical correspondence is produced and compliant with the Trust quality standards.
• To provide support and guidance to patients, carers, relatives, company representatives and others making contact with the service
• To organise complex activities /programmes/meetings - this may also involve minute taking responsibilities.
• To work closely alongside both the admin and clinical/medical staff for their assigned sub speciality/doctors and will develop rapports with the Specialist Nurses, Consultants, Fellows and other relevant staff members external to the department in order to ensure we work in accordance with Trust policies and protocol.
Our new strategy, developed with the support and feedback of colleagues, patients, and partners, is our compass for the next seven years (2023-2030).
We have four primary goals:
• high-quality care for all,
• being a great place to work,
• partnerships for impact, and
• research and education excellence
And we will embed health equality in all we do - taking active steps to reduce the avoidable differences in healthcare that some people face, working in partnership with communities.
Our strategy is underpinned by new values and we will work to ensure they are an everyday reality for all:
• we are compassionate,
• we are proud,
• we are inclusive, and
• we are one team
This is an exciting moment as we look to the future with clarity on what we already do well and where we need to focus our energies to make an even bigger difference for the people we serve.
