A focus on patients’ needs

Carole Farrell Consultant editor

As a specialist area for nurses, oncology incorporates many types of cancers, a range of treatments and individual areas for practice. We see patients at many stages, from initial diagnosis to palliative care, adapting and developing our clinical and nursing skills to treat and support them and their families throughout. Our work is rewarding, yet often complex and challenging, and should not be underestimated.
