Healthcare professionals need extra support when dealing with rare conditions & blood cancers like Waldenstrom’s macroglobulinaemia.
Consultants, GPs, nurses, carers, & allied health professionals, can’t be expected to know everything and, at WMUK, we understand the pressures and increased workload that the NHS is currently facing.
We want to be able to support healthcare professionals in any way we can because we all have the same focus in mind: To provide the best possible care to patients & their families.
Whilst we know as healthcare professionals you’re used to handling a new diagnosis with sensitivity, we also appreciate the time pressures on clinicians, which is where we come in. If you have a newly diagnosed WM patient, we can offer support, advice, and information. Our Clinical Advisory Board can offer expert assistance, we have a dedicated Nurse Support Line that is available for patients, a dedicated Patient Support Manager who can support and advise, and we have a superb evolving WM library with a wealth of information for newly diagnosed patients. We want to work with you to support every WM patient from diagnosis onwards.
We currently offer CPD accredited Nurse Study Days where you can learn more about Waldenstrom’s macroglobulinaemia and treatment. You can still access our last one here.
