Cancer Care Across the Ages

To mark National Cancer CNS Day, we’re looking at the critical role of the Clinical Nurse Specialists in cancer care. What is the experience of cancer across the age spectrum? And what should be in the government’s next 10-year cancer plan? Special guests Nikki Morris and Helen Pearson join us to explore the challenges facing the nursing workforce in cancer care. #NationalCancerCNSDay
 Nursing Matters this week is presented by PNC chair Rachel Hollis and guest co-host Paul Trevatt. Tell us what YOU want us to discuss on future podcasts by tweeting @theRCN with the tag #NursingMatters

‘The cancer CNS is central to ensuring the best care for patients.’ Nikki Morris 

‘The role encompasses decision making, sharing of specialist knowledge, coordination of care and acting as an agent of transformation and innovation.’ Paul Trevatt

‘Why is the specialist nurse role constantly under scrutiny? This is not the case for medics and other health professionals.’ Helen Pearson


Presented by Rachel Hollis. Audio production by Alex Rees. Assistant producer Jelena Sofronijevic. Music: ‘Snappy’ by Jonathan Boyle under licence from premiumbeat.com. Nursing Matters is a Podmasters Production for the RCN.
