Your care team

We believe in a personalised approach to cancer care that is thoughtfully crafted around you and your loved ones. Our cancer care team takes the time to understand what matters most to you, providing support grounded in compassion, knowledge and hope.

Our centre is dedicated to caring for people with cancer and haematological conditions. From doctors and nurses to radiotherapists, pharmacists and administrative staff, every member of our team is here to help.

With you, every moment that matters

Every member of our multidisciplinary team is here to help you. Here are some of the people you may meet and the role they have in your care.

Medical oncologists

Doctors who specialise in diagnosing and treating cancer with the use of chemotherapy drugs, immunotherapy and hormone therapies. They develop and continually review your treatment plan and, in most cases, lead and manage the overall care.

Haematologists

Doctors who specialise in treating blood disorders and cancers affecting the blood (e.g. leukaemia) or blood forming organs such as the bone marrow.

Radiation oncologists

Specialist doctors who prescribe radiotherapy treatments for all types of cancer and oversee the management of care for patients.

Radiation therapists

Team members who are responsible for the planning and delivery of your daily radiotherapy treatments.

Oncology nurses

Nurses who support your overall wellbeing throughout your treatment, including administering your chemotherapy, monitoring your symptoms and managing any side effects. They can answer any questions you may have and provide additional sources of information.

Medical receptionist and administration team

Team members who are on hand to answer any questions you may have relating to your appointment bookings, transport and accommodation requirements, and billing enquiries.

Medical physicists

Medical physicists play an important role in quality assurance to ensure our radiation treatment machines are maintained according to regulatory standards and that our working environment abides by radiation safety policies.

Nuclear medicine physicians

Doctors who specialise in using radioactive materials to diagnose and treat diseases such as cancer.

Pharmacists

Team members who are committed to supporting your care. Pharmacists work with you, alongside your doctor and nursing team, to make sure the treatment you receive is optimal and safe and answer any questions about your medications.
