Hello from me - new member of the patient experience team

General advice
1

Hi my name is Hayley and I am a post transplant clinical nurse specialist. I have worked at the Royal Marsden Hospital for over 13 years working with patients who are being treated for blood cancers and who have gone on to have a stem cell transplant.

18 months ago I was fortunate to get the position of the post transplant specialist nurse at the Royal Marsden which was funded by Anthony Nolan. This has now progressed in to me having the opportunity to work at Anthony Nolan within the patient experience team.

My role here is to offer additional advice and support to patients and families who have been affected by blood cancer and stem cell transplant. I will be working 3 days a week in the office and continuing with my clinical work at the Royal Marsden 2 days a week.

I look forward to hearing from you and hope that I can contribute to the invaluable support that this forum provides. If you have any questions or need any pre or post transplant support please contact me at patientinfo@anthonynolan.org.

Best wishes
Hayley

Welcome to the gang Hayley. I’m sure your experience and advice will be very helpful to everyone here and having some clinical input will fill the gaps that us patients can’t.

All the best,

Steve

Thanks Steve, I have been reading a lot of the blogs and the greatest source of support always comes from patients and families who have experienced a transplant and all that goes along with it. I am really pleased to be involved and I am sure that I will be learning a lot from you all too.

Thanks
Hayley
