To mark national Cancer Clinical Nurse Specialist Day we invited members of the specialist team at Royal Shrewsbury Hospital to join us, and we were delighted to gift them with fresh flowers and cupcakes thanks to a £500 contribution from Barratt Homes – based at the nearby Lilies development.
Macmillan notes that someone in the UK is now diagnosed with cancer at least every 75 seconds, which is nearly 1,200 people every day. Each day, clinical nurse specialists see how cancer is impacting all areas of people’s lives and the dedicated day has been established to highlight and celebrate the hugely important role that the cancer nursing workforce provides for patients and UK-wide health systems on a daily basis.
“With more than a hundred Cancer CNSs in the trust, their contribution is vital. They show their professionalism and dedication every day. We want to thank Barratt Homes for its generous donation, which has helped make the day even more special for our colleagues.”
Adrian Evans, Managing Director at Barratt Homes West Midlands, said: “Clinical nurse specialists work tirelessly to support their patients, especially considering how many people are affected by cancer in the UK.
National Cancer CNS Day being celebrated in Shrewsbury
“We were pleased to play a small part in celebrating the nurses at Royal Shrewsbury Hospital and thank them for their unwavering commitment and hard work.”
Our CEO Naomi Atkin said: “It’s a true privilege to work so closely with the Cancer CNS teams operating across Shrewsbury and Telford. Their dedication to making a true difference at a time it’s most needed is second to none and we’re so pleased to have been able to acknowledge their outstanding efforts today with gifts from two local businesses – Fleurtations in Shrewsbury and Pippo’s Bakery in Oswestry.”
