Overview

The haematology service at UCH has 98 inpatient acute haematology/BMT beds across two sites – Grafton Way Building and University College Hospital.

We would expect you to be an enthusiastic and highly motivated cancer nurse wishing to develop management and leadership skills in a dynamic and genuinely supportive environment.

We are a nurse led service at the cutting edge of nursing developments. Our wards are nurse led and are supported by a nursing infrastructure including a dedicated nursing central venous access team, nursing chemotherapy team and a nursing educational team. Not only does this provide our ward nurses with opportunities to develop quickly, it gives them the time to care properly for patients.

Our nursing ward ratios are on average 1 nurse to 3 or 4 patients.
