Dr. Lazaridou is Chief of Inpatient Care at the Bank of Cyprus Oncology Centre.

She is interested in integrating Palliative Care into the care of her patients as early as possible in their journeys through their illness. She strongly believes that further training in palliative care is essential to mentoring junior doctors and nurses, as well as other staff members.
