Advocacy impact
Our advocacy service supports patients and families who need help understanding their rights. The team also helps people navigate complex situations following a blood cancer diagnosis.
How we support people
People affected by blood cancer can face many challenges. These can be in employment, access to treatment, and understanding medical information.
Sometimes patients and their families need help communicating with organisations and services. These situations can feel difficult to manage. Particularly, when someone is already coping with the impact of illness.
Our advocacy service helps patients understand their rights. The team supports them to speak up when they need to. They help people explore their options, explain processes and access support.
This can cover workplace rights after diagnosis, support with appeals or second opinions. They can also help people understand information related to treatment and care.
In 2025, our advocacy service:
- Supported 145 patients
- Helped address challenges related to employment, healthcare decisions and access to information
Our advocacy service helps people have the information and confidence they need. This supports patients and their families to navigate important decisions and situations.
What people say about our advocacy service
Thank you so much for everything. It was difficult and often very emotional writing the complaint, but it was something I needed to do, and your help and support made it easier.
I really appreciate you taking the time to set out the options so clearly. Thank you again for your understanding and for the considerate way you’ve responded. It’s been a difficult experience. Your message was both grounding and constructive.
