Medical Secretary

You will be expected to work independently and as part of a team, exercising judgement and initiative to prioritise and co-ordinate your own workload. In addition to general medical secretarial duties the post-holder will prioritise workload to ensure patients' medical records are kept up-to-date, book appointments, co-ordinate Clinics and home visits, liaise with wards regarding inpatients and complete discharge summaries in a timely manner.

You will be required to use various computerised systems, e.g. Microsoft Office, Outlook and patient administration systems (eg; RIO) to input referrals and make appointments where required. Please note that full training will be provided on the relevant IT systems.

We require an enthusiastic and highly motivated Medical Secretary, who can provide an efficient secretarial support service to Consultant Psychiatrists and their medical team.
