Clinical responsibilities will include assessment and management of patients across the cancer pathway, contributing to treatment planning and ongoing care. The post holder will attend and actively participate in multidisciplinary team (MDT) meetings and tumour site-specific clinical activities. Depending on the tumour site, there may also be involvement in systemic anti-cancer treatment delivery, acute oncology services and, where appropriate, radiotherapy-related activity.
