Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust provides NHS hospital services for around 900,000 people across Berkshire, Hampshire, Surrey and south Buckinghamshire.
As well as delivering excellent general hospital services to local people, we provide specialist heart attack, vascular, stroke, spinal, cystic fibrosis and plastic surgery services across a much wider area.
We have three main hospitals - Frimley Park in Frimley near Camberley, Heatherwood in Ascot and Wexham Park near Slough.
Our three core values, and the behaviours that support them, guide everything we do and set out what we expect of our staff in the way they treat patients, visitors, service users and each other, Committed to Excellence, Working Together and Facing the Future.
We are also proud to host the Defence Medical Group South East at Frimley Park with military surgical, medical and nursing personnel working alongside the hospital's NHS staff providing care to patients in all specialties, This requires a high calibre individual who can work autonomously in a stimulating and challenging environment in order to achieve outcomes efficiently.
The prospective candidate will be working within a newly developed team, working collaboratively with the Cancer Performance Manager, Programme Manager, nursing and community colleagues to support partnership working with GP practices and external support organisations.
This is a fixed term post and will be part of the National Targeted Lung Health Checks Programme, which is a key element of the early diagnosis of cancer and part of the NHS Long Term Plan. The Surrey and Sussex Cancer Alliance has been awarded funding to deliver this transformational programme focussing on lung cancer.
The aim is to use a number of interventions designed to reduce lung cancer incidence, improve the stage at diagnosis and increase one-year survival.
The TLHC MDT Coordinator will be required to support the Programme Manager and Cancer Performance Manager in the set-up and ongoing delivery of the programme, guided by the framework for the TLHC National Programme and National Protocol.
This will involve close and ongoing liaison with CCG Clinical Leads for each locality, Surrey and Sussex Cancer Alliance, Public Health Leads, CCG Contracting, NHS Trusts and other relevant providers within the identified localities; to help design and plan the various delivery stages, whilst building and maintaining effective relationships across the organisations.
