Thanks to the generous support of the Medicash Foundation, Clatterbridge Cancer Charity is now able to deliver first-in-human trials of newly developed drugs right here at Clatterbridge.
This four-year pledge from Medicash is funding a crucial nursing post within our Experimental Cancer Medicines Team. This role will take on responsibilities typically handled by a consultant, increasing our capacity and enabling more patients at Clatterbridge to access these innovative medicines through clinical trials.
These experimental drug trials offer Clatterbridge patients the unique opportunity to be among the first in the country, or even the world, to benefit from these cutting-edge treatments.
Lee, a Research Nurse at Clatterbridge, shares his excitement: “Working in clinical trials is just so exciting. Knowing that we are giving patients an opportunity to access a treatment which could prolong or improve their life is just a brilliant privilege. We are so grateful to Medicash for funding this role and helping us deliver the best care we can for the people of Merseyside and Cheshire.”
Your support is vital in making these advancements possible. Together, we can continue to push the boundaries of cancer treatment and provide hope to patients and their families.
