Specialist cancer nurses
Macmillan has conducted censuses of cancer, palliative and chemotherapy speciality nurses and support workers across the UK:
England
Wales
Scotland
Northern Ireland
We have also used this work in modelling to estimate future requirements for the workforce.
Allied Health Professionals
Allied Health Professionals are vital to the delivery of cancer care. They include dietitians, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, speech and language therapists, and other roles. In 2018, we commissioned a report to better understand this workforce.
