Happy International Paediatric Oncology Nurses Day!

Happy International Paediatric Oncology Nurses Day

Today we recognise International Paediatric Oncology Nurses Day and celebrate all of the Nurses at Leeds Children’s Hospital & Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust.

Nurses on Ward L31 at Leeds

Here’s a snapshot of the brilliant teams we work with:

We work alongside the wonderful teams of nurses on the inpatient wards and the Children’s Haematology & Oncology Day Unit team delivering day case treatments, planning tests and investigations and follow up appointments.

And we work with teams of Specialist Nurses including:

  • The Children’s Haematology & Oncology Outreach Team who support families from diagnosis, through treatment and beyond. They work alongside families to coordinate care, liaison with local services for care and provide care in the home.
CHOOT Team
  • Teenage and Young Adult Team who work across both children’s and adult services caring for teenagers and young adults aged 16-25 years and their families. They offer holistic support personalised care and coordinate treatment plans.
  • Research Nurses who support the research work of the department and help families to access studies and clinical trials.
  • Stem Cell Transplant Team who support children, young people and families having stem cell transplants and beyond.
  • Nurses working Children’s Radiotherapy at St James’s University Hospital who support and care for children having Radiotherapy treatments.
  • Clinical Nurse Educators who equip all the nurses in the department with the specialist skills to look after children with cancer.
  • Advanced Nurse Practitioners who work across the department have had additional training to undertake some of the roles that in the past were undertaken by doctors.
  • The Nursing teams are led by two Lead Nurses – The Lead Nurse for children’s Cancer and the Lead nurse for Teenage and Young Adult Cancer.

Candlelighters would like to give a big thank you to the Nursing Teams and wish you all a very Happy International Paediatric Oncology Nurses Day!
