The Cancer Care Coordinator will play a key role in the

assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and management of patients presenting with

acute and same-day care needs. You will work autonomously while being supported

by a wider clinical team.

Support practices to deliver their quality improvement

plans for early cancer diagnosis.

Develop and embed systems across the network to

improve cancer screening uptake, liaising with external agencies as

appropriate.

Utilise population health intelligence to proactively

identify and work with patients newly diagnosed with cancer and on the cancer

register to deliver personalised care.

Ensure patients living with and beyond cancer are well

supported and receive a Cancer Care Review in line with national defined

timescales and targets.

Provide coordination and navigation for people and their

carers across health and care services, working closely with others who can

support the patients. E.g. Social Prescribers, other primary and secondary care

professionals, external organisations that offer support.

Liaise with other stakeholders as needed for the collective

benefit of patients but not limited to Patients GP, Nurses, other practice

staff and other healthcare professionals. Develop excellent working

relationships with all partners, wider service networks including the voluntary

sector, GP practices, regional screening team, Cancer Alliances, Macmillian

Cancer support, adult social care, hospitals, community pharmacists and other

members of the MDT.

Support the coordination and delivery of MDTs where the

Cancer Care Team are involved.

Attend a formal appraisal with their manager at least every

reviewed on a regular basis so that new objectives can be agreed.
