Many different hospital staff will be involved in the care of children and young people with cancer
A team of specialists will plan the treatment they feel is best for the child’s condition.
This multidisciplinary team (MDT) is led by a consultant paediatric oncologist/haematologist who specialises in the treatment of cancer or leukaemia and may also include other allied professionals such as a psychologist, occupational therapist, physiotherapist and social worker.
All the staff involved are specialists in their field, many with an international reputation for their work, and they work together to ensure that there is a consistent and co-ordinated approach to your child's treatment and care. Many of them will be CCLG members who receive regular updates on the latest research and trial information within children's cancer.
