We have an oncology team and its common to have chemo patients spread out in most of the wards (cats, neuro, medicine etc). The oncologists give the chemo with a nurse assisting and then the ward nurses for that ward are the ones providing the nursing care. The ward assistants in that ward also feed and walk. We just ensure we use appropriate PPE etc</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
