Interview date: 22 September 2026
The Lung Cancer Screening CNS will work alongside the rest of the lung cancer screening team. The main element of the role is to deal with scan results under the supervision of the Lung Cancer Screening Clinical Director. This will include phoning patients whose scans are suspicious for lung cancer, as well as contacting patients regarding other incidental findings identified on their scans.
All patients who are scanned will receive a results letter. This is partly automated, but the nurse will be responsible for generating the majority of these letters, ensuring that anything mentioned by the patient during their review is addressed and that all results are explained in an appropriate manner.
This developing service is supported by a forward-thinking and supportive management team, Nurse Practitioners, administrators, and other clinical team members. There are opportunities to develop both clinical and managerial skills, as well as opportunities for further study.
Milton Keynes University Hospital, in proud partnership with the University of Buckingham, is a University Teaching Hospital committed to advancing patient care through cutting-edge research and education. With a “Good” rating from the CQC and significant investment underway, this is an exciting time to join our team and grow your career.
As a medium sized general hospital, we provide a full range of general medical and surgical services, including a busy Emergency Department, Maternity, and Paediatrics. As the population of our city and surrounding areas continues to grow rapidly, we are expanding and enhancing our facilities to meet rising demand and improve access to care for all our communities.
We are also proud to offer a growing portfolio of specialist services. In January 2025 we opened our state-of-the-art Radiotherapy Centre, bringing advanced cancer treatment closer to home. Our services also include neonatology, specialist surgical care, and a wide range of diagnostics, supported by the new Community Diagnostic Centre at Whitehouse Health Centre.

Further investment is underway, including the recently approved Women and Children’s Centre, set to open by 2030.
