The selected candidate will join a dedicated team focused on enhancing breast cancer services, serving as a representative for the Breast Clinical Nurse Specialists (BCNS) team. The role involves delivering professional, clinical, and innovative care in collaboration with a multi-disciplinary team, following necessary training.

As a Macmillan Breast Clinical Nurse Specialist, the individual will play a crucial role in providing expert guidance and support to patients with suspected or confirmed breast cancer and benign breast conditions.

Furthermore, a portion of the role involves attending multidisciplinary team meetings, which is essential for maintaining quality assurance and patient advocacy.

The nurses will collaborate with a multidisciplinary team that includes consultants, radiographers, oncologists, and pathology staff.
