We are looking for an enthusiastic, reliable individual to join the team as Inpatient Booking Co-ordinator/Medical Secretary. This interesting role will include efficient management of two consultant waiting lists.

Medical Secretary experience will also be required, and you will need to be able to demonstrate audio typing and medical terminology skills, as this post will also provide PA support to two consultants, a visiting consultant and speciality doctor and the associated clinic typing.

This is a full-time vacancy, 37.5 hours per week.

Key Responsibilities: Arrange patient admissions using hospital systems, including pre-operative assessment appointments, sending out relevant paperwork as necessary in line with the Patient Access Policy. Ensure that all patients with an elective ‘to come in’ date have confirmed their appointments within an appropriate timeframe in order to fully utilise available capacity. Communicate and escalate any shortfalls in capacity to the CAL and ensure additional capacity is fully utilised and appropriately communicated to patients. Weekly monitoring of patients with ‘late’, ‘no’ or unconfirmed TCI. Liaising with consultants and secretaries as to dates of treatment for patients. Same day cancellations – ensuring patients are re-booked within 28 days of cancellations or within RTT breach date (whichever is sooner). Ensuring Pathway ID’s are attached to all inpatient episodes. Ensuring comments are updated weekly on the RADAR system.
