Testimonials

Abby Evans, Education and Project Support, St Ann’s Hospice

“We have the link to the Royal Marsden on our organisational Moodle site. It is a fantastic resource that enables our staff to have up-to-date, evidence-based care that they can access not only on the computers, but also on their mobile. It has also reduced the number of local policies/procedures we had within the organisation, as we have signposted staff to the particular procedure on The Royal Marsden.”

Amanda Griffiths, Director of Quality, Voyage Care

“The introduction of The Royal Marsden Manual at our nursing sites has made such a positive difference to our staff. It affords them a wealth of up-to-date and relevant information at their fingertips and promotes a higher stand of research-based care. For our nursing locations, it has been a simply positive choice.”

Chris Aylott, Practice Educator, St Helena Hospice

“Having The Royal Marsden Manual Online is a great resource. It means that I can access information anytime, from wherever I am. It has proved invaluable to me when I have been writing policies and updating procedures. When in doubt—refer to the Royal Marsden Manual! The online version is available to all of our staff, which is a great way of helping everyone to maintain the excellent standard of care that we strive to provide.”
