NHS Employee Reviews for Coordinator

The pay isn't enough for the amount of stress working here causes - and I don't mean working as a nurse/doctor. - on the administration side. Bear this in mind!

Busy Environment, Easy to adapt to.

Cancer MDT Coordinator (Former Employee) - Manchester, Greater Manchester - 11 November 2019

Busy Environment. Easy to adapt to, the rules and guidelines often change so you need to make sure you are able to adapt to each situations. Very little opportunity for growth within same departments, but overall growth within your role can be transferred to other departments and roles.

Challenging and rewarding

Fast paced

Coordinator (Former Employee) - Oxford, Oxfordshire - 9 October 2019

Lots of training needed for access to NHS systems, it’s a very much learn on the job roles as training given doesn’t match up to what you need. Some departments are slow to move forward.

I thoroughly enjoyed working at Guys , what a wonderful trust with amazing people . I enjoyed going to work every day . The only reason I left was due to the commute. I would definitely recommend working for such a positive and hardworking NHS trust.

Generally a nice organisation to work for.

Coordinator (Former Employee) - London, Greater London - 4 April 2019

I worked in a team of very dedicated health care professionals. We all learned from each other and were able to overcome difficulties together. The organisation regularly reviews policies and has taken on board that it needs to be progressive. It generally tries to respond to any shortcomings swiftly.

Severely understaffed, negative atmosphere

Coordinator band 5 (Current Employee) - Epsom, Surrey - 24 August 2017

I started at Epsom hospital few months ago with lots of energy but feeling drained already. My line manager doesn't have much time to see me or to support me, my new colleagues are busy doing their things. There is a lot of negative attitude that spreads quickly and is not healthy. Working here is very stressful.

Pros

Some colleagues are nice, you gain experience of working for a large organisation

Cons

Severely understaffed in alll departments, stressful, not enough support for new starters

Stressful but rewarding.

Coordinator (Former Employee) - Bristol, Bristol - 14 March 2017

Management is poor but some people you meet and the experiences are worth while. Helping people as a job is very rewarding. 0 Hour contracts are not that secure either, they can get rid of you without a notice but if you want to leave you need to give them a week advance.

Always delivering World Class Cae

Cardiology Coordinator (Current Employee) - Head of Cardiac Investigations Unit- Belsize Park - 28 August 2016

I have learnt so much about Cardiology and it is an absolute pleasure coming into work to not only help others by providing World Class Care on behalf of the Trust, but to also learn new clinical work and information. I come into work and I also get a little education each day by understanding more and more about the Heart and Aortic Valves.

Great chance at progression

Waiting list coordinator (Former Employee) - Exeter, ENG - 17 March 2015

Whilst at the RD&E I was given an excellent opportunity. I started as an admin apprentice in January 2014 and by June 2014 I was a band 3 waiting list coordinator. I worked extremely hard to be noticed and the work paid off. In any work place you are not always going to agree with everyone's opinions and suggestions but it is extremely important that you remain professional at all times whilst at work and it is vital that you are able to compromise. The hardest part of this job was the ever increasing number of referrals our department was receiving but our capacity was staying the same. This resulted in patients waiting longer that they should of been for their procedures.

Pros

Progression

Cons

Capacity issue
