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.
