Job description

Job overview

The Breast Unit is the largest clinical unit at The Royal Marsden, delivering the full range of diagnostic and treatment services at the Chelsea and Sutton sites and an oncology service at Kingston Hospital.

Referrals are received to the unit in a variety of ways including directly from GPs through our Rapid Diagnostic and Assessment Centres (RDAC), from local screening services and from other centres and hospitals requesting second opinions and transfers of care.

The Breast Unit aims to deliver the latest high-quality treatment for all stages of breast cancer, and to be at the forefront of international research into the development of new treatments.







Although the Breast Unit works across both sites largely independently, it does so according to a standardised operational policy and agreed clinical guidelines.

Main duties of the job

- Providing a comprehensive service for patients with breast cancer and benign breast conditions.
- Participating in the weekly multidisciplinary meeting and supporting the multidisciplinary care team which includes Surgeons, Clinical and Medical Oncologists, Radiologists, Fellows and deanery trainees, Specialist Nursing Staff, Pathologists, Radiographers, Palliative Care and PsychologicalSupport.

Flu Vaccination What We Expect of our Staff

At The Royal Marsden we have an immune compromised patient population who we must protect as much as we can against the flu virus.

Each year, seasonal flu affects thousands of people in the UK. Occurring mainly in winter, it is an infectious respiratory disease capable of producing symptoms ranging from those similar to a common cold, through to very severe or even fatal disease.

The wellbeing of our staff and patients is of the upmost importance to us, and it is the expectation of The Royal Marsden that all patient-facing staff have an annual flu vaccination, provided free of charge by the Trust.
