This Clinical Nurse Specialist post sits in the Gestational Trophoblastic Disease and Rare Gynaecological Cancer team at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust. The role supports patients with pregnancy-related cancers and ovarian germ cell cancer, working autonomously and alongside the multidisciplinary team to give individualised care.

- Provide autonomous specialist nursing advice, care and support to patients and those important to them
- Provide inpatient and outpatient support with the multidisciplinary team, in line with local and national targets
