This post is based at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery (NHNN) which along with the Royal London Hospital for Integrated Medicine (RLHIM) forms the largest division within the Specialist Hospitals Board; Queen Square Division.

The NHNN is an internationally renowned hospital for clinical practice and world-class clinical research in neurosciences. It is also closely associated with the Institute of Neurology (ION). Together, NHNN and ION are regarded as the premier neurosciences centre in the UK. In addition to Neurology and Neurosurgery, the NHNN provides comprehensive services in Neurorehabilitation, Neuro-Critical Care and Neuropsychiatry.

The NHNN receives secondary, tertiary and quaternary referrals from across the UK and internationally. The RLHIM is Europe’s largest public sector centre for integrated medicine. The hospital offers a range of therapies which are fully integrated into the NHS and with conventional medicine.

An exciting opportunity has arisen in the Patient Booking Team for a Band 3 Patient Booking Assistant. The post holder’s main job purpose will involve management of new patient referrals from their receipt into the hospital to the patient’s first outpatient appointment, meeting all Trust set targets. The post holder will also support and cover other aspects of contact centre work including follow up/enquiry telephone lines, e-referrals, responding to internal and external (i.e. patients, GP’s and external clinicians) email queries and clinic amendments.

The Patient Booking Team (PBT) is responsible for all new patient referrals that are received (GP, Tertiary & Internal) at NHNN and RLHIM. The Patient Booking Team is also responsible for ensuring that all Trust set targets for Outpatients are met. This includes 18-week RTT targets.

You should be highly motivated with a commitment to your own personal and professional development. Excellent communication skills and the ability to work as part of a large multidisciplinary team are essential.
