Clinical Services
Each patient is assigned a Clinical Specialist Nurse, allowing them one- on-one support
|
The Royal Marsden Dr Shelley Dolan joined The Royal Marsden in
1994 as a Clinical Nurse Specialist and in 2000 became the first Nurse Consultant in Cancer: Critical Care in the UK. As Chief Nurse, she has successfully argued for nurses to lead research studies as primary researchers, and there are now 12 PhD- qualified nurses working in the hospital’s health services research unit. Dr Dolan is also Clinical Director for the London Cancer Alliance (LCA). The above are just some examples of the leading
cancer specialists we employ here at The Royal Marsden. We really are making a significant impact on the global effort to making cancer a disease of the past.
Individual nursing support The Royal Marsden is also unique in how we approach nursing. Each of our patients is assigned a Clinical Specialist Nurse, meaning that throughout their journey, they have one-on-one support available whenever they should need it. We have always been at the forefront of quality and research in nursing to ensure patients receive the best care. We know that the treatment pathway for our patients can be lengthy and complex, from public education and awareness to diagnosis, acute treatment and living with and beyond cancer. So we pride ourselves on training nurses to the highest standards so that they can nurture patients through every step of their treatment. We are also leading the way in the nursing
community by engaging closely with our charity partners. For example we have become the first hospital in the UK to employ an Anthony Nolan Clinical Specialist Nurse, specifically caring for leukaemia patients who have just had bone marrow transplants. This is yet another excellent example of how we are always honing our nurses training and expertise in specialist cancer treatment and care and an example of what overseas patients can expect when they arrive at The Royal Marsden.
Unique approach The reputation of the NHS in quality and outcome is also a key reason why we are continuing to see a rapid growth in overseas patients coming to be treated privately at The Royal Marsden, an NHS Foundation Trust. The Royal Marsden is not only a world leading
cancer hospital but is also leading the way in both research and development. The hospital is also unique in its approach to treatment and diagnosis. Every patient treated is discussed in a Multidisciplinary Team Meeting and this approach is continued throughout a patient’s time with The Royal Marsden, meaning that experts from across the hospital are all involved in deciding the best course of treatment for the individual. We are one of the only hospitals to offer such unique treatment of our patients. The hospital is recognised around the world for its expertise in treating all cancer types as well as its research and clinical trials into cancer genetics and targeted therapy. All this expertise is available to overseas patients opting for private treatment with us.
