Pancreatic Cancer: Nurses
(asked on 10th July 2025) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many pancreatic cancer specialist nurses are employed in the NHS in England.
This question was answered on 16th July 2025
The Department does not hold information on the number of full time equivalent pancreatic cancer specialist nurses employed in the National Health Service in England.
The Nursing and Midwifery Council does not require any specific post-registration education programme to be undertaken in order for a registered nurse to become a pancreatic cancer specialist nurse. Employers develop specialist roles to meet community and service need locally.
