Fancy a change? Interested in diversifying your skills to boost your CV? Oxfordshire Targeted Lung Health Check is a new OUH provided service. Nurse-led and community based it is an ideal opportunity to join a friendly and innovative team keen to support training and development.
Targeted Lung Health Check services save lives and improve the health of our local populations through early identification of cancer and promoting smoking cessation. Eligible asymptomatic participants between the ages of 55 to 74 with a smoking history are invited to have a ten minute telephone consultation to assess their risk of lung cancer. If eligible, they will then attend our mobile CT unit for a more detailed lung health check. Your role will be to support participants to start their Lung Health check journey. For some this will lead to cancer diagnosis which will save their life. Early detection from low-dose CT scans using artificial intelligence to enhance image analysis can transform 5-year survival rates from around 15% to above round 80%. Incidental findings of raised cardiovascular risk will enable early intervention to help prevent heart attacks and strokes.
The primary purpose of the Total Lung Health Check Programme is to enable the early detection of lung cancer to save lives.
You will be part of a team of about 6.. The three key aspects of the role - administration, performing telephone risk assessments, and supporting smoking cessation. Depending on service needs and available staff you may be asked to specialise in any of these three areas, whilst providing cover for the others. Currently we primarily need to boost our telephone risk assessment capacity and admin support. You will be contacting people who have an appointment booked - either self-booked online or centrally assigned but with an opportunity to reschedule. We aim to contact about 120 people every day. We use specialist software to plan our appointments, communicate with participants, document all contacts made, and the outcomes of the consultations. Training will be provided but it will be important that you feel comfortable acquiring new IT skills. You will initially be based at OUH Cowley (Unipart House) but once trained there will be opportunities for more flexible home working if preferred. As service needs and staffing change you can expect opportunities to diversify into other tasks within this hybrid role that forms the backbone or our service.
