Dedicated Nurse Service
Ongoing reassurance & support from day one
The stress and worry of being diagnosed with a serious illness can put extreme pressure on you and your family. More often than not the diagnosis throws up lots of questions and it can feel like there is no one there to give the answers so desperately needed.
Members, or relatives of a member that's diagnosed with cancer or a heart condition, can be put in touch with our Dedicated Nurse Service.
Our friendly nurses are at the end of the phone for you and your family from day one and will provide clinical medical support and guidance during and after diagnosis, illness and treatment. All of our nurses have years of experience and will take the time to guide you through the next steps, dispel the myths and translate the jargon.
