Ribton, Jeanette
- Abstract
As a consultant nurse at one of the UK's leading cancer centres, I am responsible for assessing, diagnosing, treating and prescribing for colorectal cancer patients. The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre's colorectal oncology service covers the whole of Cheshire and Merseyside. It is part of a trust that provides specialist cancer care via centres in Liverpool, Wirral and Aintree, as well as a treatment at home service and chemotherapy clinics in district general hospitals across Cheshire and Merseyside, enabling our patients to access a range of specialist services closer to home.
