With a career spanning more than 30 years, Mandy has worked to influence, challenge and improve outcomes and experiences for people living with cancer in London and the South East of England. Since qualifying as a nurse in 1984, she has gone on to have an impressive career in oncology, cancer nursing and research. From her early roles at Guy’s Hospital, Amanda’s drive to improve the quality of life of people with cancer and make sure people receive equal care has been outstanding.
In 2005, Amanda became Lead Nurse for Cancer Services at Bromley Hospitals NHS Trust, and later the Consultant Nurse in breast cancer at Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospital. While there, she put into effect nurse-led diagnostic services and end-of-treatment clinics. In 2017, she became the Macmillan Nurse Programme Lead for Living with and Beyond Cancer at South East London Accountable Cancer Network, where she transformed patient care by championing the Recovery Package.
Amanda’s extensive academic work includes a research project, which investigates how the use of an adapted Holistic Needs Assessment for women with breast cancer in Ghana and Tanzania could really help to improve lives.
A big thank you and congratulations to Mandy.
