The aim of this 12 month post is to equip the fellow with knowledge and skills in symptom control, management of side effects of cancer treatments, psychological support, complex pain management and research in supportive care. The development of this knowledge will be underpinned by a curriculum in supportive oncology, developed and badged by the UK Association of Supportive Care in cancer (UKASCC) and endorsed by the Royal College of Radiologists.
