Nurse practitioners at London’s Verspeeten Family Cancer Centre have expanded from three in 2017 to 13 in 2025, helping manage rising cancer care demand by handling follow-ups and routine care, freeing oncologists for new patients.
They conduct assessments, order tests, prescribe treatments, and support long-term care, especially for patients on oral therapies like those for prostate cancer.
