Speaking at the British Oncology Pharmacy Association (BOPA) Annual Symposium 2018, held in Birmingham, UK, Ms Oakley brings light to the changing role of oncology nurses in the future as we see more patients being diagnosed with cancer, and how nursing teams and dedicated specialist helplines can help deliver immediate support to patients.
