Who will be looking after me?

A specialist cancer doctor is called an oncologist. They work with a multidisciplinary team (MDT) to plan and oversee your treatments.

The MDT looking after you can include:

• clinical nurse specialist (CNS) • non-medical prescribers (NMP) • dietitians • pharmacists • surgeons (if needed) • histologists • allied health professionals (physiotherapists, speech therapists, occupational therapists and social workers) Each time you come for your treatment you will be seen either by the doctor or a nurse. Your treatment will be given by a specially qualified nurse.
