Making the Case for Clinical Nurse Specialists

Our call to action

Clinical Nurse Specialists (CNS) working in cancer are vital to excellent quality patient care and improving outcomes.

But CNS are not a protected title, and as such are vulnerable to budget cuts and role dilution.

Our campaign objective is to codify the CNS role and to provide resources and advocacy that support in enhancing and retaining the existing workforce as well as encourage nursing professionals to specialise in cancer care.
