The CNS Team are here to offer advise, support and information to both yourself, your family and/or your carer(s) and can provide you with information about your cancer and treatments, help with managing any side affects you may experience, make referrals to financial services, District Nurse or Community Specialist Palliative Care Teams if required or referrals for emotional psychological support.
Your continued health and wellbeing is very important to your team and one of the ways the CNS team support you in achieving this, is to intermittently offer you the chance to complete a Holistic Needs Assessment (HNA) – this will help your CNS identify any questions or concerns you may have regarding practical, family, emotional, spiritual or physical needs. Your responses help ensure the CNS provides you with personal and individualised care.
The CNS will always try to see you at your oncology outpatient appointment so they can offer you additional support and advise if needed, however, this is not always possible, so please do not hesitate to contact us afterwards if you have any questions.
The CNS Team cross cover each other with the additional support of the Breast Care Nurse Team if required.
