We have a large team of clinical nurse specialists and key workers who support patients of all ages throughout their pathway.
My primary role is to clinically assess and initiate investigations for people who have been referred by their GP with a suspected sarcoma. I perform a telephone clinic for those whose results exclude a sarcoma and can be discharged back to the GP. I also provide follow-up for people who have completed treatment for soft tissue sarcoma and require surveillance.
I have completed a BSc Oncology Nursing, and a Post Graduate Certificate in Strategic Leadership and Expert Practice.
