Job overview

The successful post holder will work within the team to help facilitate and develop breast cancer services within Manchester Foundation Trust by acting as an ambassador for the breast clinical nurse specialists (BCNS) team. They will provide professional, clinical and innovative care delivery within a multi-professional team after undergoing any training required for the role.

The Macmillan Breast Clinical Nurse Specialist will work as an integral member of the multi-disciplinary team to provide expert advice and support for patients with suspected or confirmed breast cancer and benign breast problems. They will provide specialist nursing knowledge and expertise in the management of patients, liaising with colleagues across care settings to ensure specialist assessment, providing holistic packages of care and ensuring patients receive prompt and evidence-based care.

The post holder will devise and deliver programmes of specialist education and training to healthcare professionals, patients and carers. They will work to develop the breast service in collaboration with health care colleagues.

The post holder will be required to work across Manchester Foundation Trust hospitals as well as in the breast unit at Royal Oldham Hospital.

Informal visits are encouraged and part-time hours may be considered for suitable candidates.

Main duties of the job

The Macmillan Breast CNS' hold various nurse-led clinics such as arranging to see patients to discuss their treatment options in detail which significantly decreases the time that the Consultant spends when signing the consent form and ensures that the patient is fully informed, thus decreasing possible litigation claims. The nurses also explain complex oncological treatments, perform comprehensive wound assessments and management and hold telephone consultations with patients, again reducing the need for out-patient appointments or GP visits. In addition, they undertake treatment summaries as well as telephone triage clinics.

All of these contacts are recorded on the Trust's new Hive IT system.

Other aspects of the role include covering various clinics which include one-stop clinics, follow-up clinics, reconstruction clinics and oncology; the aim of which is to support patients, identifying and addressing individual patient's needs. Additionally, a proportion of their time is spent attending the multidisciplinary team meetings - this is a quality assurance requirement ensuring patient advocacy.

The nurses work as part of the multidisciplinary team which includes consultants, radiography staff, oncologists and pathology staff.
