This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a new collaborative working team who are changing the way Adult Immunisation Programmes are delivered across the country.

You will work closely with Primary Care providers to support the identification and recall of patients across Shingles and Pneumococcal vaccinations. This highly important project will deliver a standardised approach to improve patient services. It will include directly contacting patients and inviting them to attend appointments.

We will give you the support and tools needed to enable you to deliver training and upskilling to the practices. You will be able to identify administrative solutions for effective patient recall; leaving searches on practice systems and ensuring systems/frameworks are left in place for automated recall.

Key responsibilities include:

• Be a first point of contact for GP Practice staff, empowering them to develop efficient vaccination programmes for their patients.
• Engage patients via telephone to arrange vaccination appointments.
• Upskill practice staff to recognise the importance of efficient vaccination services to protect the health of the communities they serve.
• Build strong relationships with Practices, Federations and ICS organisations
• Monitor and report all Adverse Events in line with CQC/ABPI and GDPR requirements

Candidate background/experience required:

• Experience of working within Primary Care GP practices and patient recall processes
• Ideally as a Deputy Practice Manager, Senior Practice Administrator, Practice IT Lead or QOF Lead
• Highly skilled user of clinical systems (EMIS and/or SystmOne)
• Fantastic communicator with the ability to quickly form relationships across practice teams
• Excellent telephone skills, experienced in handling patient calls.
• Experience in handling patient information in line with the 2018 GDPR regulations.
• Excellent communication, negotiation, and interpersonal skills, both written and verbal

If you are passionate about patient care and want to make a positive change to vaccination services within Primary Care, then we would love to hear from you! In return, we will provide you with the all the skills and support you need to succeed in this exciting role.
