Programme Manager. 6.1 Kent will appoint a Programme Manager who will be responsible for the day- to-day management of the Programme. The post may be wholly or partly funded from the Programme Investment Fund. The Programme Manager will report to the Steering Group, or other Groups as determined by the Steering Group, but line management will be the responsibility of Kent. The Programme Manager will be responsible for monitoring the progress of the Programme (including income and expenditure) and the production of the Annual Progress Report and Forward Delivery Programme. The Programme Manager will act as the "client’s representative" for the commissioning of Proposed Schemes.
Programme Manager. There is a need for a dedicated local Programme Manager who is operationally responsible for both FOBt and bowel scope screening and is of an appropriate seniority to be accountable and responsible for the management of both programmes. Administration staff The Bowel Cancer Screening System (BCSS) is set up to allow for ‘multiple booking’ of bowel scope screening appointments, with subsequent cancellations either explicitly or implicitly due to lack of response within the time limit. There is a considerable amount of re- booking of appointments and changes to bowel scope screening lists both on internal patient administration systems and within BCSS. The adequate number of administration staff and bookings staff will be an essential part in the efficient running of the bowel scope screening service. Endoscopy unit workforce A minimum of 2 nurses (1 of which must be a registered nurse) must be present during the bowel scope screening procedure. Where the endoscopist is a nurse, there is still a requirement for 2 additional people – this could be a combination of endoscopy and bowel screening nurses, but at one must be a registered nurse. Bowel scope screening endoscopists Bowel scope screening endoscopists must undertake the bowel scope screening accredited assessment process (See Appendix 1 – Accreditation of Bowel scope screening endoscopists) and meet the minimum standards and criteria in order to perform bowel scope screening procedures on the screening population. Nurse endoscopists working alone for evening sessions (with no medical cover on site) will need local Trust clinical governance protocols to acknowledge autonomous practice. Screening centres are encouraged to work with Health Education England’s clinical endoscopist training programme (formerly non-medical endoscopist). SSPs may consider undertaking training as bowel scope screeners. Training must be undertaken within a JAG accredited programme, with funding for any training supported by the individuals own trust/screening centre. Lead Specialist Screening Practitioner The lead specialist screening practitioner (LSSP) plays a pivotal role in leadership of the nursing team. Together with the clinical lead and programme manager they manage the day-to-day operational matters of the bowel cancer screening programme. The LSSPs are required to lead clinical audit and benchmarking to improve clinical effectiveness in the pursuit of reduction in colorectal mortality and morbidity. Specialist Screeni...
