We are proud of our dedicated team of nurse practitioners, who provide comprehensive acute care for our patients, including inpatient services, a 24-hour Acute Haematology Oncology Unit, an Acute Oncology Service, and assessment for patients receiving SACT.
This Oncology post will provide specialist expertise in upper and lower GI cancers across Gloucestershire and Herefordshire, contributing to the delivery of exceptional, patient-focused care. The successful applicant will:
- Continue to strengthen established links with site-specialised teams through regular multidisciplinary team (MDT) meetings
- Play an active role in developing and enhancing our multidisciplinary services
- Foster strong collaborative relationships with colleagues across Oncology, Palliative Care, Medical and Surgical specialties, and Primary Care
