IBD Coordinator

Overview

This is an exciting opportunity to work within a dedicated, specialist team, caring for people diagnosed with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, the two main types of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD).

As a member of the Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Team you will provide support and administrative duties in the delivery of services for patients with IBD, making a direct and positive contribution to the work of the IBD team. You will act as an initial contact for primary and secondary care to the IBD service via telephone and email.

A key part of the role will be collating data and maintaining databases, including those with a new diagnosis and patients starting new treatments, helping to ensure a smooth and efficient pathway for patients.

You will manage the coordination and organization of the IBD Multi-Disciplinary Team meetings (MDT) supported by the lead IBD CNS and IBD clinical lead, recording the outcomes on the patient records and following up decisions taken.

With initiative and judgment when dealing with patient inquiries, requests, referrals and results, you will prioritize importance accordingly, organizing patient care, coordinating MDT meetings, managing patient queries and ensuring smooth patient pathways for those with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, bridging gaps between patients, clinicians and data systems.

Our STAR values - Service, Teamwork, Ambition and Respect - are a golden thread running through everything we do, guiding us toward our vision of delivering great joined-up services to our local community. Whether at home, in the community, or within the hospital, our goal is to empower individuals to lead independent and healthier lives.
