Background

The first edition of The Royal Marsden Manual of Clinical Nursing Procedures was produced in the early 1980s as a core procedure manual for safe nursing practice within The Royal Marsden NHS Hospital, the world's first cancer hospital. Implicit behind that first edition was the drive to ensure that patients received the very best care, including clinical procedures carried out with professional expertise combined with an attitude of respect and compassion. This vision is still at the forefront of nursing in The Royal Marsden today, reflected in two of the themes of The Royal Marsden's Nursing Strategy 2016–2018 (Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust [36]) (Box 1.1).
