Abstract
Lead cancer nurse roles have evolved following the publication of the Calman−Hine Report in 1995 as well as other subsequent government publications. The authors recognize that the lead cancer nurse works in collaboration with the lead cancer clinician and cancer services manager to make an effective contribution to the planning and delivery of cancer care services. However, the authors recognize a significant variation in the role across the country. This led them to explore the complex and often ill-defined remit of the lead cancer nurse role and compares this with nurse consultants and advanced nurse practitioner roles. This article sets out to explore the challenges facing both postholders and organizations and aims to focus on strategies that will offer support and education.
