Services include:

  1. Home visits to administer pain relief, monitor the symptoms of the patient's disease and discuss possible treatment options available to them
  2. Oncology nursing care during and following chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery; wound management, and giving dietary advice to patients with early stage cancer and terminally ill cancer patients as well as their family members
  3. Educating patients and caregivers on the administration of subcutaneous injection
  4. Routine flushing of central venous catheter and dressing of exit site
  5. Providing emotional and psychological support for the patient and family
  6. Loan of medical and nursing equipment to assist the patient at home, e.g. oxygen concentrators, wheelchairs, commodes, walking aids
  7. Providing welfare assistance to patients with financial difficulties

How are patients referred to the team?
