The Childrens, Teenage and Young Adult Haematology and Oncology Service has won national awards and is a dynamic clinical, training and research unit. This current project is to improve patient experience during chemotherapy by developing ambulatory treatment.

The second phase will be to implement the plan, to carry out the patient consent for participation and to supervise the initiation of ambulatory treatment on a Monday and Tuesday. The post holder will supervise the medical care of the patients on treatment and will review the outcomes after each course has been administered later in the week. The post holder will communicate with the rest of the inpatient and day unit team and will provide written summaries for the parent, the GP and the local paediatrician where appropriate.
