Our Nurses

Our

nurses

Mesothelioma UK is dedicated to supporting mesothelioma patients across the UK through a network of clinical nurse specialists.

Our goals are outlined in our Nursing Strategy.  All of our nurses are based in NHS organisations throughout the UK which ensures they are embedded into patient care while working to develop mesothelioma services on a wider scale.

In England, we aim to provide an expert nursing voice in each Cancer Alliance, as well as provide more than one nurse within large alliances, or those with a high patient volume.

We are funders of the Scottish Mesothelioma Network. We proudly collaborate with the Scottish Mesothelioma Network to fund clinical nurse specialists in Scotland.

Project Wales launched in 2020 with the aim of creating an MDT and a network of mesothelioma clinical nurse specialists in Wales.

Project Northern Ireland is working to establish dedicated mesothelioma nursing posts for the first time. 

If you’d like to contact a nurse, please call our Freephone Support Line on 0800 169 2409 or email su*****@*************uk.com

Support for

our nurses

The Mesothelioma UK clinical nurse specialists play a crucial role, providing compassionate care, expert guidance, and a comforting presence during difficult times. Their dedication ensures that patients receive the personalised attention they need, and their families find solace in knowing they are not alone on this journey.

Some of our nurses are funded by partner organisations.  We would like to express our deepest gratitude to the following for their unwavering commitment to supporting patients and families affected by mesothelioma. The funding of the nursing posts has made an immense difference in the lives of those living with this challenging disease.  The commitment to funding these nursing posts is a beacon of light for those facing the challenges of mesothelioma. Together, we continue to fight, advocate, and support one another.

I, personally, wanted to thank you for your support and guidance through this horrific disease. You’ve listened to me moan and shout with frustration and have been patient when I’ve asked you so many questions that you must have been asked a thousand times.

Dad was always grateful to you and responded to your optimism. My mum and all of our family will always remember you with affection and gratitude
