Job overview
Applications are invited from experienced nursing, pharmacy, and allied health professionals who would like to develop their career in an exciting direction to train as Advanced Clinical Practitioners in Systemic Anti-Cancer Therapy.

The ACP is accountable for independent clinical assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of patients diagnosed with cancer, monitoring their systemic treatment (cytotoxic chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and other directed treatment), assessing and treating complications of treatment and also the cancer itself. Additionally, the ACP is responsible for appropriately referring patients to relevant specialties for any necessary inpatient or outpatient investigations.
