Gynaecological cancer

Who are we?

We are a team of nurses who specialise in the care and support of people with a suspected or diagnosed gynaecological cancer. This may include cancers of the ovary, womb (endometrial), cervix and vulva. A Clinical Nurse Specialist (sometimes called a CNS) is available to every patient diagnosed with a cancer.
