The modern cancer CNS is involved in many aspects of genetics and genomics in cancer care. Being a cancer CNS is a valuable and rewarding role. Talk to a cancer clinical nurse specialist today if you are interested on becoming one. #NationalCancerCNSDay
So.....this is me two weeks ago picking up my MBE for 'services to nursing'. I need to say that my time as a CNS in Head and Neck Cancers and in brain tumours was the defining role in my career. Happy #NationalCancerCNSDay @ukons.bsky.social
Me in 1995 working as a staff nurse on an oncology ward at Charing Cross Hospital UK. I had completed my specialist qualification in Oncology and knew my career would be in cancer care. I would later become a CNS in Head and Neck Cancer. #NationalCancerCNSDay
