  • Leading co-ordination and administrative activities across the respiratory, children & families and frailty pathways
  • Acting as the central point of contact for the workstream leads and team members
  • Liaising with practitioners and patients to ensure clinics and meetings are set up in a timely and efficient manner
  • Organising, attending and capturing notes, actions and learning from MDTs and wider workstream meetings
  • Identifying opportunities from both within workstreams and more widely to share best practice and improve practice
  • Acting as the link person for clinic templates and data sets - this includes creating or amending templates and searches
  • Working with other members of the wider team to ensure quality standards are adhered to
  • Adhering to all relevant policies and procedures and ensuring training related to the role is identified and undertaken, in agreement with line manager
  • Ensuring the workstream activities are delivering the agreed outcomes to the relevant patient cohorts
