Kathryn Terry - Oncology Nurse Specialist

"Oncology care has always been of interest to me because I see it as a real privilege since I’m connecting with some of the most vulnerable people within our population.

It can be emotionally challenging to walk with these people and their families through this difficult time in their lives, but it is also very worthwhile when I see the positive difference I can make during treatments and care. Over time we tend develop a close relationship with our patients, which borders on a friendship with some.

While providing chemotherapy is only part of my role, creating an environment in which patients feel comfortable and confident to speak up when they have issues is very much important to our culture. We genuinely care about our patients and always put them first, which is why we do everything in our power to ensure their treatment runs smoothly and that they receive the best support."
