Mesothelioma UK

Who we are

Mesothelioma UK is the national charity for anyone affected by mesothelioma. We exist to support people with mesothelioma to live better and live longer and to prevent mesothelioma happening to future generations. We will do this by advocating for better treatment and care, enhancing quality of life, supporting research and amplifying the patient’s voice.

The focus of our charitable activity since our foundation has been to provide access to specialist nurses at the point of need, in local hospitals across the UK. Mesothelioma Clinical Nurse Specialists provide a large range of benefits including; specialist expertise available to patients, increased access to clinical trials, an increase in the number of patients accessing treatment, a lower rate of unplanned admissions, better management of symptoms and an overall increase in the quality of life for patients.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

Mesothelioma UK is committed to promoting equality and diversity and to promoting a culture that actively values difference and recognises that people from different backgrounds, abilities and experiences can bring valuable insight which enrich the organisation.  It sets out to be an organisation which respects and values diversity where it exists.
