About the Role
Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust is one of the UK’s busiest and most successful NHS trusts, providing a wide range of hospital and community services across south London, including specialist care in cancer, renal, orthopaedics, respiratory and cardiovascular services. The Trust also includes Evelina London Children’s Hospital and the Royal Brompton and Harefield hospitals, offering world-leading expertise in heart and lung disease.

The Patient Pathway Validator will be part of the central administration and data quality team, which ensures all patient referrals are identified and acted upon consistently to provide responsive, high-quality care.
