Acute oncology service
Our Gynaeoncology team looks after and supports people who have, or are suspected of having a gynaecological cancer. We work closely with consultants and healthcare professionals from the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Gateshead and James Cook University Hospital in Middlesbrough, which manage and treat many gynaecological cancers.
Our two Gynaeoncology Clinical Nurse Specialists (CNSs) are based at Darlington Memorial Hospital and the University Hospital of North Durham, but also work from Bishop Auckland Hospital, Chester le Street Community Hospital and Shotley Bridge Community Hospital. Their role is support patients, their families and carers from the point of diagnosis, through treatment and beyond. They also provide education and advice to patients and other healthcare professionals.
