Establish systems for a multi-disciplinary approach to patient-centred care delivery and demonstrate good interpersonal, teaching, and practical skills required within the speciality, reflecting the oncology and haematology philosophy of care, and involving patients and their relatives/carers using the Trust’s patient and public involvement strategy. Demonstrate a good knowledge of treatment side effects and care, providing patients and carers with advice and support in relation to health promotion, neutropenic sepsis, hair loss, and other treatment side effects. Practice advanced specialist skills for the client group, including the administration of Cytotoxic & Immunotherapies treatments, blood products, central venous and peripheral access device care, venepuncture, and cannulation.
