Elective Admissions Officer

at  The Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

The Elective Admissions administrative service contributes towards a systematic approach to delivering the NHS commitments for access to elective and day case surgery, specifically the drive to guarantee maximum waiting times and introduce patient choice through booking systems. The sensitivity around clinical and management priorities will require the post holder to work with and have the confidence of Consultants and Directorate Managers. Information management and data quality is essential to ensuring effective management of waiting lists. Through robust booking systems the service aims to maximise theatre utilisation and maintain NHS patient access targets.
This will require the service to have a strong patient focused approach ensuring that written and verbal communication with patients is conducted in a professional and receptive manner. The booking of admission dates will entail a telephone contact facility. Patient confidentiality must be observed at all times. If any of the above excites you, we would love to hear from you!
