Support for Scottish Patients

patients

Mesothelioma UK is proud to be part of a partnership with NHS Scotland and MacMillan Cancer Support to launch the Scottish Mesothelioma Network. The network is comprised of a team of clinicians and clinical nurse specialists from across Scotland who collaborate to share best practice and provide high quality clinical care, information and support to all patients, wherever they live in the country. The network ensures all patients have equitable access to potentially life-changing clinical trials.   

The Scottish Mesothelioma Network has a dedicated website with information for patients in Scotland on how to access treatment, clinical trials, support groups and other relevant information.

Mesothelioma UK partners with asbestos support groups to fund mesothelioma clinical nurse specialists within the Scottish Mesothelioma Network.
