Acute oncology team
We’re a nurse lead service that work alongside oncologists, haematologists and other CNS teams with experience in all aspects of the cancer journey, especially chemotherapy, radiotherapy and their side effects.
We’re based at Stoke Mandeville Hospital.
If you’re admitted urgently to Stoke Mandeville Hospital with a cancer related problem or cancer treatment related issue, our team will assess your needs and give advice as appropriate.
What we do
We liaise with your:
- ward team so they understand the nature of your cancer and any treatment you receive
- clinical nurse specialist and your consultant so everyone is up-to-date with your condition.
