3 What is a Key Worker? A Key Worker is a person who takes a key role in coordinating a patient s care and promoting continuity for example, making sure the patient and family know who to contact for information and advice. For most patients with lung cancer or mesothelioma the specialist nurse is your Key Worker. However, this may change over time as your needs change. If you have any questions about the Key Worker role please contact the specialist nursing team. What is the Specialist Nursing Team? The specialist nurses consist of Advanced Nurse Practitioners and a Specialist Nurse Practitioner who are qualified nurses with specialist training and experience in lung cancer and mesothelioma. The team includes Melanie Rogers, Hannah Ball and Charlie Buckle. For surgical patients Jenny Mitchell is also an Advanced Nurse Practitioner in lung cancer surgery and surgical follow up care. We are there to support you and your family and carers. We work as part of the Multi-Disciplinary Team, offering advice and support to lung cancer and mesothelioma patients at any stage of their illness. page 3
4 What can the Specialist Nursing Team offer me? Emotional support in dealing with diagnosis and the future. Information and advice about lung cancer and mesothelioma. Information about treatments for lung cancer and mesothelioma. Advice about symptoms, treatment side effects and their management. Someone to talk to about feelings, worries, concerns and problems. Coordinate your care by being a link with other staff and services concerned or involved with your care, now and in the future, including relevant advice on whom to contact if needed. Basic benefits advice and put you in touch with dedicated benefits advisors. To act as your Key Worker at appropriate times in your care. page 4
