Main duties of the job
The Urology Oncology clinical nurse specialists are responsible for establishing and maintaining effective communication with various individuals and groups on complex, potentially stressful topics in a range of situations.

The role of the Macmillan Uro Oncology clinical nurse specialist is central to promoting people's equality, diversity, and rights. There is a need to assess and address people's health and wellbeing needs when those needs are complex and change across the caseload.
