Wait-List Transplant Coordinator

The wait-list coordinator ensures coordination of the clinical aspects of transplant patient care through the waitlist for deceased donor kidney transplantation and the transition phase of deceased donor kidney transplantation. This includes:

1. Receiving referrals and making first contact with the patient.
2. Performing interim assessment of patient’s suitability to be placed on the wait-list.
3. Scheduling tests and specialist visits that are required for placement on the wait-list.
4. Ensuring patient is reviewed at the wait-list registration or wait-list maintenance clinic.
5. Providing counselling of patients with respect to being on the wait-list.
6. Monitoring patient condition and testing during the wait-list phase.
7. Maintaining a database with intent to report wait-list management data on a regular basis.

The wait-list coordinator will also handle any calls or concerns from wait-listed patients, monitor the condition of wait-listed patients that are admitted, and ensure that the waitlist is maintained accurately at all times so that patients from SGH will always have the best opportunity to receive a deceased donor offer. The wait-list transplant coordinator will also be expected to take turns doing overnight calls for deceased donor transplant activation, where the coordinator is in charge of preparing patients for emergency deceased donor kidney transplantation. The wait-list coordinator will work collegially with other healthcare professionals to ensure holistic care of the waitlist and perform any other duties requested by the transplant program manager or director, which include roles in quality improvement, education, and research.

Requirements:

1. Degree holder in Health Care Related fields, Life Sciences, or Psychology.
2. Prior experience in the healthcare sector will be an added advantage.
