About this listen

 In this episode, we explore how the landscape of cancer nursing has changed over the years through a thoughtful conversation between Sophie Maycock, Supportive Care Clinical Nurse Specialist and UKONS Young and Early Career Cancer Nurses Member Interest Group Co-chair and Marion Woodhouse, Lead Systemic Anti-Cancer Therapy Nurse Specialist. Sophie and Marion qualified over 20 years apart. Together, they reflect on what it was like when they first entered the profession, how working in cancer care has evolved over two decades, and what the future might hold. This episode is produced by Macmillan Cancer Support in collaboration with UKONS.
