 St
Giles has a team of 17 Clinical Nurse Specialists working in the community,
caring for those living at home with cancer or other serious illnesses.
All are Registered Nurses with

health professionals, agencies and local community services to ensure
the highest quality care for patients, and support for their families.
Nurses provide:
