The department manages several different clinics from breast one stop clinics, Urology, Head and Neck, dermatology and surgical clinics.

There are many new and exciting innovative opportunities for a Band 5 nurse within the Royal Marsden Trust. This is a great opportunity to develop your existing skills and knowledge, but also to learn new one's in caring for cancer patients at all points of their cancer pathway.
