Band 8a Lead Oncology Breast Clinical Nurse Specialist
Are you an experienced Breast Oncology Clinical Nurse Specialist with a passion for delivering outstanding patient care and inspiring others? We are seeking an exceptional and motivated nurse to join the Royal Surrey Cancer Centre as our Lead Breast Oncology Clinical Nurse Specialist.
This is an exciting opportunity to lead an established, highly regarded Breast CNS team within one of the UK's leading cancer centres. Working as part of our multidisciplinary team, you will play a pivotal role in shaping and delivering high-quality, evidence-based care for patients with breast cancer across their treatment pathway.
As the Lead Breast Oncology CNS, you will provide expert clinical leadership, operational management and strategic direction for the Breast CNS service. You will work closely with consultant oncologists, surgeons, allied health professionals, research teams and wider cancer services to ensure patients receive seamless, compassionate and personalised care.
The key function of the Lead Breast Oncology Clinical Nurse Specialist is to work with the Lead Cancer Nurse to co-ordinate the delivery of a comprehensive Breast oncology service within the Trust.
This role has a strong highly autonomous clinical component where the CNS will be key in assessing the patients and providing a holistic treatment plan. The nature of this post means that you will have direct influence over nursing care standards and will be able to directly challenge and manage practice. This role is one where the Consultants and CNS will work as equals to provide the best care possible for the patient, and implement high quality standards across the allied health professional groups. The post holder will need to draw on a wide range of past experience in order to advise others and lead practice in regard to the patients with Breast Cancer.
