Purpose of the Post The CNS post holder will deliver care in line with the five core concepts of the role set out in the Framework for the Establishment of Clinical Nurse/Midwife Specialist Posts, 4th edition, National Council for the Professional Development of Nursing and Midwifery (NCNM) 2008. Patient Caseload Haematology/ Oncology/Radiotherapy patients over 16 years of age The concepts are: • Clinical Focus (Direct and Indirect Care)• Service user/client Advocacy• Education and Training• Audit and Research• Consultancy (including leadership in clinical practice) The Clinical Nurse Specialist (Acute Haematology Oncology) will provide a non ED direct access route for Haematology/Oncology/Radiotherapy patients who are experiencing a disease or treatment related complication. The appointee will be responsible for acting as a point of contact for patients in the out-patient setting, providing a telephone triage hotline service using a validated assessment tool (UKONS), undertaking detailed patient assessments and actively participate in planning and performing unscheduled review of patients presenting unwell to the oncology/haematology day units with disease/ treatment related side effects. The appointee will provide increased access to specialised cancer nursing care for patients on active treatment to enhance patient safety and minimise risks. The appointee will work within the acute haematology and oncology service as part of the multidisciplinary team, forging relationships especially with (not exclusively) ED, acute medical assessment units and CIT/ community services and continue to develop the role in line with evidence based practice and NCCP guidance. Details of Service/Background to the postThe Acute Haematology Oncology Nursing Service (AHOS) focuses on the management and treatment of patients who present acutely with cancer treatment side-effects or as an emergency complication from a known cancer diagnosis. This service was set up following the National Action Plan 2020 published by the DOH in response to COVID 19 which emphasised the need to maintain critical and ongoing services. The NCCP advocated and secured funding for clinical nurse specialist posts in all of the 26 Systemic Anti- Cancer Therapy (SACT) hospitals to safeguard patients and minimise where possible their attendance to ED and their requirement for admission to hospital. The post holder will collaborate and liaise with the NCCP on strategic goals including those set out in the National Cancer Strategy 2017 -2026 through working groups and other approaches to implementation. The Acute Haematology Oncology Nursing Service is pivotal in providing a non ED direct access route for cancer patients who require review. Cancer patients who are on treatment and become unwell can access the Clinical Nurse Specialist (Acute Haematology Oncology) via a dedicated telephone line in any of the 26 centres across the country that deliver SACT. The service provides patients with access to specialist cancer nurse advice and support during the acute phase of their SACT treatment. Unwell patients who require additional clinical review are where possible seen in the cancer day care unit or a dedicated space away from the ED. It reduces the requirement for patients to attend the ED and prioritises appropriate ED referrals.
