An exciting opportunity of a Lead Cancer Nurse has arisen at the Royal Surrey Cancer Centre. 

The Royal Surrey Cancer Centre is the specialist Cancer Centre based at the Royal Surrey NHS Foundation Trust Hospital. It is highly regarded for the excellent care it provides and for its work with the University of Surrey and major pharmaceutical companies in conducting vital research to support the development of new cancer treatments.  

We are excited to offer this post to an enthusiastic individual who is an experienced cancer nurse. Someone who is able to work as part of the wider MDT and has great communication skills is essential. There will be much networking to ensure that patients receive gold standard care in all cancer care metrics.
