Description

As a NHS Medical Administrator, you’ll be the backbone of our clinical admin operations for 6 GP Practices across South East London. You will keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes while supporting clinicians and patients. From managing Medical Reports, Referrals, handling Lab Results or triaging incoming patient’s clinical documentation, you’ll play a vital role in delivering high-quality care. You’ll help keep patient records accurate and up to date by coding, summarising, and uploading information into EMIS, and you’ll support essential admin processes.

You’ll be the critical link between General Practitioners and patient outcomes.

This role is perfect for someone with a medical background who’s detail‑driven, organised, and enjoys work that directly contributes to better patient care behind the scenes.

If you’re detail-driven, quick to learn, and ready to make an impact in primary care, this is your chance to start a meaningful career within the NHS.


Key Responsibilities

  • Supporting clinicians by reducing their administrative workload, allowing them to focus on direct patient care.
  • Managing workflow queues, keeping on top of backlogs, and helping maintain safe turnaround times.
  • Reviewing and triaging incoming clinical documents
  • Processing and managing lab results and referrals.
  • Scanning, coding, and filing patient information into EMIS.
  • Summarising new patient records and maintaining accurate medical summaries.
  • Liaising with clinicians to ensure timely follow-up on abnormal results.
  • Routing information to the right clinician (GP, pharmacist, nurse, etc.) based on urgency, risk, and clinical protocols.
  • Coding and summarising key clinical information into EMIS to keep patient records accurate and up to date.
  • Supporting audits, reporting, and general administrative tasks.
  • Constantly working towards personal and team KPIs relating to workload


You'll thrive here if you

  • Want to be part of a supportive team where what you do behind the scenes has a real, meaningful impact on patient care.
  • Enjoy work that’s detailed, focused, and genuinely makes a difference to patient safety and clinical care.
