Job overview

The Centralised Practice Administrator plays a pivotal role in supporting GP practices by managing the end to-end workflow of clinical and administrative documents.

The role aims to reduce the administrative burden on clinical teams, enhance patient safety through accurate data processing, and provide adaptable support across multiple practices

    • Review, prioritise, and escalate urgent or high-risk information, including safeguarding alerts, 111 reports, and ambulance notifications.

    • Manage clinical document workflows and ensure timely actioning of tasks such as referrals and appointment scheduling.

  • Clinical Coding & Summarising:

    • Apply clinical coding (e.g., Read Codes, SNOMED) to diagnoses, procedures, investigations, and treatments in line with practice protocols.

    • Summarise and accurately code patient records, including data from previous GP practices, to support safe, proactive care and QOF compliance.

    • Maintain data quality, check summarised records for accuracy, and support coding audits and reporting.

  • Prescription & Medication Support (as required):

    • Assist with processing repeat prescription requests and issuing prescriptions in accordance with safe prescribing protocols.

    • Liaise with pharmacies to resolve medication queries and escalate clinical concerns when needed.

    • Monitor and maintain prescription workflow to ensure timely action within agreed timeframes.
