Aurora is a support service led by nurses within the Oncology Department. With their experience in this area, together with other professionals at Sir Anthony Mamo Oncology Centre, it aims at educating and supporting oncology patients.

Aurora organises:

• Chemotherapy classes to provide newly diagnosed patients who need chemotherapy as part of their treatment with the necessary information to understand and manage chemotherapy side effects. A tailored information material booklet is also given to all patients attending the class.
