Nurse Practitioner, Gynecology Oncology
BC Cancer
Vancouver, BC
You’re on a professional mission to reduce the burden of cancer in your community, and with great hope, across the globe. A person-centred nursing professional, you remain steadfast in your efforts to support all individuals who are undergoing cancer care, along with their families and friends. Working with a team of health care colleagues who share your values of compassionate care and excellence through innovation makes all the difference in your workdays, as you share the highs and lows with support, kindness, and excellence in care.
At BC Cancer, we have a number of Nurse Practitioners working in various settings with diverse populations. NPs play a role in managing care during active treatment, palliative care, and after-cancer care. They provide mentorship to medical and NP trainees, and to nursing and allied health staff. They also take part in research clinical trials and drive patient-focused research. They are part of the leadership team and are key players in NP role development and evaluation.
Most of the NPs at BC Cancer work with a variety of cancer patient populations, including patients diagnosed with hematological, lung, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, breast, brain, and head and neck cancers. Some NPs at BC Cancer have a more generalist focus, providing primary care and surveillance for those who are undergoing treatment or have experienced cancer at some point in their life as well as provide end of life care.
In total, we currently have 22 NPs working at BC cancer in full and part time positions around the province.
Nurse Practitioners collaborate with clients and other health professionals to identify and assess trends and patterns that have implications for clients, families and communities; develop and implement population and evidence-based strategies to improve health and participate in policy-making activities that influence health services and practices. As professionals, they participate in peer review and self review to evaluate the outcome of their services at the client, community and population level.
They are responsible for their professional development and maintaining competence and registration as a nurse practitioner.
