Support and coordination of remote surveillance for patients on self managed follow up (PIFU) pathways to ensure risk free survivorship.
The Cancer Support Worker team at UHBW are looking for an enthusiastic and motivated person to join our compassionate & well-established team, who provide personalised support and information to people living with and affected by cancer.

In line with the NHS Long Term Plan, UHBW are implementing a digital cancer remote monitoring system, My Medical Record (MMR) to enable remote cancer surveillance and Personalised Stratified Follow-Up (PSFU) pathways of care for people with cancer.

This Cancer Support Worker role will be critical in the effective implementation and development of My Medical Record services for cancer follow-up care.

This provides a fantastic opportunity for you to contribute to improving the overall experience of cancer care at UHBW and work within a friendly and supportive team with an interdisciplinary approach to delivering personalised care.
