As patients’ key workers, Cancer Clinical Nurse Specialists (CNSs) provide patients and their families with detailed information about their care and treatment. They improve the quality and experience of care for patients, reinforce patient safety, and work with other healthcare professionals and organisations to improve patients’ care.
Cancer clinical nurse specialists are highly regarded because of their specialist training and education and for choosing to work in an extremely demanding and complex field of healthcare. Each year the contribution of the cancer CNS to cancer care is celebrated to recognise their professionalism, experience, skills and resilience.
