Cancer nursing is facing a number of challenges, including the increasing complexity of treatments. In this interview, Mary Tanay of King’s College London, London, UK, passionately discusses how educators can influence and help cancer nurses deal with these challenges. She highlights how nurses need to have the time to reflect and learn, to benefit both themselves and the patients that they care for. This video was recorded at the UK Oncology Nursing Society (UKONS) Annual Conference 2017 in Harrogate, UK.
