Macmillan Hepatobiliary Cancer CNS

As part of the Hepatobiliary Cancer Specialist Nursing Team you will be supported and given the opportunity to complete the advanced communication skills course and will develop skills to personalise care through undertaking Holistic Needs Assessments. You will be encouraged to develop an understanding of the psycho-social needs of those affected by Primary Liver cancer, including carers, developing an understanding and application of the Living with and Beyond Cancer strategy (2015).

Your role will adopt a strategic approach to both inpatient and outpatient care, resulting in interventions which aim to pre-empt potential problems in the clinical areas and in the community and minimize periods of crisis for patients, and their carers. A significant strength of the role will be supporting colleagues to cross professional boundaries in both primary and secondary care with the confidence and competence to work autonomously, utilising a wide degree of clinical assessment and clinical decision making skills.

The successful candidate will have previous post registration clinical experience in the care of patients with Liver and HPB cancer. Applicants should possess excellent literacy, communication, organisational and leadership skills and should be prepared to work within a flexible working environment. Post graduate education, teaching and mentoring skills plus good IT skills are required.
