Read the full brief
You are the booking coordinator for a hospital skin clinic. A consultant has gone off sick and sixteen appointments need rebooking into a handful of spare slots. You work out each patient's target date from the access policy, rebook in the policy's order with the right grade of clinician, and take account of interpreters and the days patients can attend. Then you talk to a patient who cannot make the only slot in time and report the expected breach to your manager, and you deal with a late change to the capacity. Automated checks confirm your counts and saved work; your judgement is reviewed against the standard for the role.
What is Riverside General Hospital?
Riverside General Hospital is a fictional general hospital. Its dermatology outpatient service sees about 220 patients a week, including patients whose GP suspects skin cancer, who must be seen by a consultant within 14 days of referral. This case runs on Monday 9 November 2026, after a consultant goes off sick.
Who do you play?
You are the outpatient booking coordinator in the Outpatient services, dermatology team.
You book and rebook dermatology outpatient appointments. You may offer and book any slot that suits a patient's priority under the access policy and book interpreters. You may not change a patient's priority, let a registrar see a patient the policy says needs a consultant, or add clinics or slots. Grace decides extra capacity with the clinical lead.
