This role is fully supported by our medicines management technicians. Cancer care also have four out-patient facilities, one for teenage and young adults, one for oncology, one for haematology and a private patient suite. Our specialist cancer care pharmacists clinically screen all prescriptions for systemic anticancer medicines and provide support and advice to medical and nursing staff and patients.
