Role Overview
The Band 5 Haematology Nurse will provide high‑quality patient care within both the inpatient and day‑case haematology settings. The post‑holder will develop their clinical skills and knowledge across the specialty and will be supported to become competent in caring for acutely unwell patients, administering complex chemotherapy regimens, and using relevant scheduling and documentation systems such as Bookwise.
