Main duties of the job

The role of a pathway tracker is an ideal first step towards becoming a fully trained Band 4 MDT Coordinator and internal developmental opportunities await the right applicant.

It's the responsibility of each MDTC to track the pathway of patients who have been referred to hospital urgently, to rule out the possibility that they may have cancer.

It is essential that all patients referred in on a 2 week wait (suspicion of cancer) pathway have every stage of the treatment tracked on a daily basis to make sure that they received a diagnosis within 28 days and where found to have cancer, their treatment, within 31 days of receiving that diagnosis.

The role of the Pathway Tracker is to make sure that they review progress by tracking the patient using either Somerset Cancer Registry or Infoflex , through the various hospital diagnostic systems, updating all the clinical teams when the information is available and ensuring that it is all available for the weekly MDT meetings, escalating any delays to the operational teams.
