An exciting opportunity has arisen for three posts, x 2 at 37.5 hours  as band 4, Single Point of Contact Navigators, for a patient support pilot, based within NHS Grampian.


These posts will contribute to the provision of a dedicated person-centred support along the diagnostic cancer pathway. They will coordinate and monitor the investigation and treatment journey from referral for urgent suspected cancer patients, ensuring delays are pre-empted and resolved to enable patients to receive treatment in line with national targets.


The Single Point of Contact Navigators will focus on providing a resource for patients and their families to access whilst on the diagnostic part of the pathway, answering queries regarding investigations, appointments and signposting to resources available, working in partnership with the cancer tracking and MDT teams.
