A multidisciplinary oncology support team for people over 65 years old. We see older people living with cancer as inpatients (Beatson) and outpatients.
A nurse-led project allowing nurses from care homes to shadow frailty specialists at a hospital, and vice versa, has been hailed as a great success in helping to improve care and communication.
