This may involve a range of shift patterns which will include days, evenings, weekends, and rotation to night duty.

You will be required to inform and educate patients on the prescribed treatment and its side effects and support patients and their carers on all aspects of their care, be they newly diagnosed or being treated with palliative intent.

Once trained this role would include co-ordinating and supervising a shift, communicating effectively with members of a multidisciplinary team to deliver high quality, evidence-led care to patients.

• To work on Ricky Grant Day Unit and Turner Ward as a Sister/Charge Nurse within a team responsible for the care of patients admitted as a result of their cancer diagnosis or side effects of their treatment and for the administration of Systemic Anti-Cancer Therapies (SACT) in the nurse led Day Unit setting

One of the most rewarding parts of being an SACT nurse caring for patients undergoing treatment for a cancer diagnosis is that you are part of their strongest support system and you often have long term, ongoing contact with them and their relatives. You get to know them as people and build strong meaningful relationships.

This creates a very rewarding bond. Being there for them and their family during their most difficult and challenging moments in their life offering comfort and alleviating some of their fears and concerns is incredibly rewarding. You have the opportunity to make such a difference to what is often an incredibly difficult journey for them.

This is not always emotionally easy but made possible with the help and incredibly important support of the Turner and Ricky Grant team.
