The specialist nurses at Cancerbackup are all very experienced cancer nurses. They have all worked in different cancer specialities before coming to work here. This means that some will be expert in blood cancers and others in bone cancers, and so on.

They spend about half of their working day answering calls to the helpline. The other half is spent answering email enquiries, writing information such as new factsheets, and updating information for the web or the booklets. They also take time to keep up to date with new developments in cancer.

There are over 30 nurses working for Cancerbackup, both on the helpline and in local centres.

Hi I’m Becky and am one of the cancer nurses here at Cancerbackup. I work on the helpline and also write the information for the TIC site. So if there’s anything you want… let me know.

When I’m not working I love going to festivals with my mates, listening to music and travelling to far away places. I’m also trying to learn how to juggle…but I’m not very good!!

 

 


Hey, I’m Richard, one of Cancerbackup’s nurses. I take calls on the helpline and help to write a lot of our information booklets and factsheets. I’ve been a nurse for 18 years and worked at Cancerbackup for the last six.

Cancerbackup is a great place to work as there’s a great bunch of nurses. When I’m not nursing, I like to travel and love to go scuba diving.
