Downloaded by [New York University] at 09:34 13 September 2016 Advanced Nursing Practice and Nurse-led Clinics in Oncology Over the past ten years, there has been a dramatic increase in new nursing roles and nurse-led clinics within oncology. This unique handbook is a comprehensive companion for nurses studying and practising at an advanced level in this emerg- ing field. This text outlines and discusses roles, responsibilities and skills related to advanced practice in oncology nursing – including leadership, communication skills and prescribing – linking throughout to the implications for clinical prac- tice. It then provides a step-by-step guide to setting up and developing nurse-led clinics, looking in more detail at clinics focusing on surgery, chemotherapy, radio- therapy, clinical trials and follow-ups, and providing an in-depth case example of a clinic set up for adjuvant Herceptin use. Practical, relevant and underpinned by current legislation, Advanced Nursing Practice and Nurse-led Clinics in Oncology is an invaluable resource for oncol- ogy nurses. Carole Farrell is a Nurse and AHP Research Fellow at the School of Oncology, the Christie NHS Trust, Manchester, UK. She is Honorary Lecturer at the Univer- sity of Manchester, UK.
