Quotes from Nurses 

Study Day on Head and Neck Cancer, 2010.
   
“I wish to express my grateful thanks to The Sam Trust for supporting us to attend the Head and Neck Cancer Society Study Day. It was an excellent study day and a great way to meet up with other people in the multi-diciplinary team and feel the community effort towards helping patients through their treatment in order to achieve the best outcomes.” Lynn Harwood, Community Cancer Nurse

“An Excellent opportunity to learn   new aspects of treatment and to hear the experience of diagnosis treatment and recovery”. Wynis Merrick, Community Health Nurse.


BMT Mettings, Orlando, Florida. Feb 2010.

“Thank you for the financial support you gave me to attend the Tandem BMT meetings this year. The conference was very worthwhile and there was a good mixture of things to think about with respect to the care we provide in Wellington and I came home with the reassurance that we provide a very good service for our patients”. Catherine Wood, BMT Coordinator
