The outpatient department at NCCT is very busy providing a wide range of consultant and nurse led clinics.
If you are a new patient, you may see a consultant oncologist or a member of his or her team and will have the opportunity to discuss your cancer diagnosis, prognosis, treatment and any other issues during this time.
During a review or follow up appointment, you may wish to discuss any side effects of treatment or other concerns relating to your treatment, progress, health and wellbeing.
