- Ensure that all documentation is scanned accurately into the system, meeting agreed targets and timescales.
- Review storage of case notes to support retention and destruction processes. This includes ensuring that all records correspond with the Patient Administration System (PAS) and comply with information governance standards.
- Support other areas of the department as required to maintain service delivery.
