Mesothelioma UK supports mesothelioma clinical nurse specials across the UK.
Our aims are outlined in our Nursing Strategy which you can read here.
Within England, we aim to cover each Cancer Alliance, as well as provide more than one nurse within large alliances, or ones with a high patient volume.
In Scotland, we are funders of the Scottish Mesothelioma Network and are proud to work in partnership to fund clinical nurse specialists in Scotland.
In 2020 we launched Project Wales to establish and MDT and create a network of mesothelioma clinical nurse specialists.
If you’d like to contact a nurse, please call our Freephone Support Line on 0800 169 2409 or email support@mesothelioma.uk.com
