· Maintain accurate and secure screening databases for all antenatal and newborn screening programmes.
· Ensure all patient records and data are recorded, updated, and audited according to national standards and Data Protection policies.
• Monitor failsafe systems to ensure timely screening, follow-up, and results reporting across all six national screening programmes.
• Identify and act on potential breaches, coordinating with relevant teams to prevent delays.
• Collaborate closely with midwives, sonographers, neonatologists, GPs, laboratories, and external stakeholders.
• Respond to queries, abnormal results, and outstanding screenings, escalating to the Screening Coordinators when required.
• Generate reports for KPIs, audits, and annual reviews.
• Present data findings at clinical and audit meetings using tools like Excel and PowerPoint.
• Contact patients when necessary to arrange follow-up appointments or investigations.
• Handle sensitive information with professionalism and compassion.
• Prepare and manage documentation, including pathology results, patient notes, and referrals.
• Assist in investigations of screening incidents and help maintain a safe clinical environment.
• Use systems such as Cerner, BadgerNet, and Viewpoint to track and update screening activities.
