This role is part of a funded initiative aimed at evaluating the Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS) provision and enhancing patient experiences within our services. Responsibilities will include conducting audits and benchmarking current services, identifying disparities, and pinpointing areas for enhancement. You will employ innovative strategies to pilot new services that align with the personalized care agenda, particularly focusing on the development of personalized care and support plans, as well as facilitating the transition of patients to personalized stratified follow-up pathways. Additionally, the role will involve providing Cancer Nurse Specialist support within oncology and the Information & Support Centre as needed.
