About Pediatric Oncology Nursing
Healthcare Practice
Supportive Care and Guidelines
Pediatric oncology nurses are vital to the care and wellbeing of children, youth, survivors, and families of childhood cancer. As advancements in treatment continue to evolve, the role of pediatric oncology nurses has become increasingly specialized, requiring expertise in complex and personalized care. Pediatric oncology nurses play an integral role in this care, working within multidisciplinary teams to deliver comprehensive, patient and family-centered support. Their expertise and dedication ensure that each child receives the best care possible, not just for their cancer, but for their overall well-being, during their treatment and well into survivorship.
At POGO, we are committed to continuously improving childhood cancer care in Ontario. This includes partnering with pediatric oncology nurses to co-create resources, tools, and professional development opportunities that empower them to continue to provide exceptional care.

POGO’s Provincial Pediatric Oncology Satellite Program enables the transfer of aspects of a child’s care to a community hospital closer to home. The Provincial Pediatric Oncology Satellite Manual is a guideline document for the continuing delivery of POGO’s vision of optimal childhood cancer care – namely, the provision of comprehensive, technologically advanced care delivered as close to the child’s home as is compatible with the level of care required, and as is equivalent to tertiary-based care.
