Celebrating our Cancer CNS We celebrated the first National Cancer Clinical Nurse Specialists (CNS) Day in March, highlighting the pivotal role colleagues provide in caring for our cancer patients. As a big thank you from the Cancer Management Team, Cancer CNS colleagues were offered reiki and reflexology, refreshments and cakes in our Wellbeing Hubs across all sites, as well as in the Linda McCartney Centre.
Therapy dog, Rosie, also came along to greet colleagues at Aintree, providing animal therapy to help staff relax and unwind. The first National Cancer CNS Day has been introduced to help raise the profile of the role, increase recruitment and retention. The CNS role is a vital source of support to patients and having access to a CNS is consistently highlighted as the major factor in improving the experience of patients with a cancer diagnosis.
Taking the limelight The New Royal Liverpool Hospital was part of a series of incredible projections from Culture Liverpool. Animated projections are lighting up iconic Liverpool buildings as part of the project ‘WeAre’, which is about people’s experiences of lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic. The messages are celebrating the people of Liverpool and our incredible community spirit. 4 | LUHFT Life
