NHS Patient Retention Advisor
LondonOn-site
AI Summary
A Patient Retention Advisor supports patients through registration and de-registration journeys, handling enquiries and records to improve experience and practice growth.
About this role
Every year, thousands of patients join, leave, or transfer between GP practices. Behind every registration is a person looking for access to care, and behind every de-registration is a patient whose experience can influence whether they stay connected to the services they need.
As a Patient Retention Advisor, you'll play a key role in managing this journey. You'll support patients through the registration process, ensure records are handled accurately and proactively contact patients who may be considering leaving our services. By understanding their concerns, resolving issues where possible, and helping them navigate our systems - you'll directly contribute to both patient experience and practice growth.
This is a role that combines administration, communication, and problem-solving in equal measure. You'll become an important link between patients and our practices while giving operational teams valuable feedback about what's working well and where improvements are needed.
This is much more than a traditional administration role. We're looking for someone who enjoys helping people, takes pride in getting the details right, and is confident building trust through positive conversations. If you enjoy solving problems, improving experiences, and making a genuine difference to patients, we'd love to hear from you.
