Job overview
The Royal Marsden is one of the largest comprehensive cancer centres in Europe and together with the ICR is ranked in the top five cancer centres in the world for research. This exciting new post presents an excellent and unique opportunity to be at the forefront of new and innovative treatments in oncology and haemato-oncology, with the clinical benefits of private care within an NHS setting.
You will work as part of a dynamic team of clinical pharmacists and technicians providing support to our patients within the outpatient and inpatient settings on the Sutton, Chelsea and Cavendish square sites of the hospital. You will be involved with the management of patients with complex haemato-oncological malignancies (e.g. CAR-T therapy and stem cell transplants). We have a significant presence in both the outpatient clinics and the medical day units and are respected and valued as key members of the MDT and work closely with world renowned experts.
Previous experience of oncology and haemato-oncology is desirable but not essential. The hospital is very encouraging of non-medical prescribing and attainment of this can be supported once you have gained and demonstrated the necessary experience.

Flu Vaccination – What We Expect of our Staff
At The Royal Marsden we have an immune compromised patient population who we must protect as much as we can against the flu virus. Each year, seasonal flu affects thousands of people in the UK. Occurring mainly in winter, it is an infectious respiratory disease capable of producing symptoms ranging from those similar to a common cold, through to very severe or even fatal disease.
The wellbeing of our staff and patients is of the utmost importance to us, and it is the expectation of The Royal Marsden that all patient-facing staff have an annual flu vaccination, provided free of charge by the Trust.
Employer certification / accreditation badges
