Professional Frameworks

  LCNS Professional Development Framework

Working at the front line of cancer care, LCNSs manage and deliver complex and personalised care to patients from the point of diagnosis throughout their cancer journey. We provide information and support for patients and carers and help them to make informed treatment choices and supportive care in the management of symptoms and side effects.
