The Royal Marsden is a world leader in cancer research, treatment and education.
Together with our academic partner, The Institute of Cancer Research (ICR), we are the largest comprehensive cancer centre in Europe and the only National Institute of Health Research (NIHR) Biomedical Research Centre specialising in cancer in the UK.
Our mission is to continue to make a national and international contribution to cancer research and treatment, so that more people are cured and quality of life is improved for those with cancer.
The Royal Marsden therefore plays an important role in championing change and improvement in cancer care through research and innovation, education and leading-edge treatment.
We have a reputation for delivering high quality performance.
We were ranked joint first in the CQC national inpatient survey results, above average in national cancer patient experience survey and ranked first amongst teaching hospitals in the UK for our staff survey results.
Predominantly the Trust's workload is from within the South West and West London Cancer Networks but, as a specialist cancer, the Trust has a high out-of-area referral rate for rare cancers, recurrent disease and treatment-related problems including international referrals.
The Trust operates a shared care model with St George's Healthcare NHS Trust for paediatric cancer.
Post holders have undertaken fellowship in a wide variety of areas including surgical specialities, dermatology, gastroenterology, palliative medicine, medical or clinical oncology, digital health care to name a few.
The H@N team is made up of a senior nurse and an outreach nurse and the H@N doctor.
At the Chelsea site there is an oncology SHO onsite until 10.30pm.
The night shift starts at 8pm and finishes at 9am the next day.
The H@N doctor cares for all ward inpatients within the hospital overnight and new admissions under oncology, haematology and surgical specialties.
They are supported by an onsite registrar/SAS doctor in critical care, and registrars in oncology, urology/gynaecology surgery, head & neck surgery and general surgery who are non-resident but able to attend the hospital when required.
These posts are anticipated to be available from the end of June 2026 onwards.
