Clinical nurse specialist team (CNS)
Our role is to be your keyworker by
providing support and information for both you and your family
throughout your treatement and follow-up care.
We are able to help you with:
- managing the symptoms and treatments
associated with cancer
- concerns and questions about sexuality and body changes
- adjusting to the diagnosis of cancer and the spread of
cancer
- support for family and friends that care for you
- communicating with services away from the hospital, for example
GPs, district nurses, hospice care, etc.
Psychological support
 |
Dr Samantha Cole, clinical psychologist
Our clinical psychologist aims to help women and those close to
them to adapt to the impact of gynaecological cancers. It is
perfectly normal to experience stress, worry, frustration and
sadness in coping with a diagnosis of cancer. Sometimes, having
someone to talk to for some extra emotional support or advice who
is not a family member and who understand the context of
gynaecological cancer can help.
