We are incredibly proud of our international reputation for pushing the boundaries and for our ground-breaking work ensuring patients receive the very latest and best in cancer treatment and care.
Rated as CQC ‘Outstanding’, The Royal Marsden is a world leader in cancer care, pioneering treatment and ground-breaking research, and has achieved one of the best results for staff engagement across all acute specialist Trusts in the most recent NHS Staff Survey. We have an overall patient experience rating of 9/10, the highest score for any Trust for quality of care. We provide our nurses and ODPs with the training, support and staffing levels that enable them to provide the best care to patients.
We have seven modern theatres in Chelsea, including two robotic theatres, and two in our sister hospital in Sutton, and a well-equipped recovery room. We recover a range of patients, from day surgery patients to those progressing to HDU, and from a wide range of specialties, including Sarcoma and Melanoma, Upper and Lower GI, Plastics, Head and Neck, Gynaecology, Urology and Breast. Our specialist recovery team is trusted, hard-working, and supportive, and we’re looking for a motivated nurse or ODP who can demonstrate a real interest in high-quality post-operative care to join us.
