Job overview

One of the most rewarding parts of being an Oncology/Haematology/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.
