We also have genetics, neurologists and oncologists visiting from Sheffield Hospitals.
Patients are new referrals and follow-up patients, e.g. seen post surgery or for results of investigations.
Most specialities have Clinical Nurse Specialists and you may have an opportunity to spend time with them.
We also co-ordinate some oncology outpatient clinics on Cavendish Suite (chemotherapy department) and you may have the opportunity to visit there.
Please feel free to discuss anything in particular you are interested in observing and we will try to accommodate you.
Patient information leaflets are available for all procedures/surgery that patients may be booked for.
