Oncology taster week

Includes clinical and medical oncology, or can be tailored to accommodate specific interests in either specialty.

One trainee said, “In the four days I spent with the team at the NCCC, I attended clinics in both central and peripheral hospitals, radiotherapy planning sessions and multi-disciplinary team planning meetings. The department have put a lot of effort into organising a structured week with lots of different opportunities –  allowing a realistic and comprehensive insight into the typical working week of an oncology trainee. All the members of staff were so welcoming and enthusiastic – I thoroughly enjoyed my time with the department, and will certainly be pursuing a career in Oncology following my experience.”
