Summary
The Royal Marsden has made significant investment in developing new ways of working for senior cancer nurses as Advanced Nurse Practitioners (ANP) in Medical Day Units (MDU), Outpatients and Clinical Assessment Units. The Royal Marsden delivers services across several sites, including its main centers in Chelsea and Sutton, a Medical Day Unit located at Kingston Hospital, and a dedicated private diagnostics and treatment facility at Cavendish Square.

• Telephone triage of patients reporting side-effects / complications.
• Booking of routine and emergency investigations.
