Nurse Practitioner

The Saskatchewan Cancer Agency (SCA) provides leadership in health promotion, early detection, treatment and research for cancer at our two cancer centres, the Allan Blair Cancer Centre in Regina, and the Saskatoon Cancer Centre. We also provide services in rural communities in partnership with hospitals through the Community Oncology Program. Our goal is to deliver safe, person-centric care; we value teamwork, and encourage colleagues to work together.

Our vision is a healthy population free from cancer, and our more than 900 dedicated employees work hard every day towards this vision.
Being a Nurse Practitioner  Nurse practitioners in oncology provide comprehensive direct patient care as a central member of the Medical Services team.
As a direct care provider, nurse practitioners (NP) provide advanced, patient-centered care to individuals undergoing evaluation or treatment for cancer. They perform comprehensive assessments, order and interpret diagnostic tests, manage symptoms, and develop treatment plans in collaboration with oncologists.

The NPs provide ongoing education and emotional support to patients and families, helping them understand diagnoses, therapies, side-effects, and survivorship or palliative care options. They monitor patient progress between physician visits, and adjust care plans to optimize quality of life. The NP provides expert clinical care in collaboration with the larger oncology team.
Saskatchewan is an amazing place to live, work and raise a family with affordable housing; short commutes; four seasons; a welcoming community atmosphere that feels like home; and abundant forest, farmland, freshwater and clean air.
