Mesothelioma UK

Our study exploring family experiences of coroner/procurator fiscal involvement in mesothelioma arose out of the work led by Sarah Thomas to examine coronial practices in mesothelioma. Sarah set up a ‘Focus Group’ of nurses, legal representatives, and MURC researchers to discuss the topic and to provide feedback for the ongoing research. She undertook a survey of coroners and developed links with coronial services, such as the Cambridgeshire service which led to opportunities to share the research and influence practice in supporting mesothelioma families. Sarah’s vision of a joint project report, and her drive to share findings and bring about beneficial changes for families will ensure that the project is highly impactful.

'My partner and I climbed the Three Peaks and at the top of Scafell Pike, Snowdon and even Ben Nevis, we FaceTimed my parents to show them the view. At this time, there was a song 'On top of the world' by Imagine Dragons which dad loved to sing to and he would send it over to our family WhatsApp group as his 'song of the day'. This song would later be played at his funeral and is still on my running playlist to give me that extra push when I need it.'' Gemma shares her family's story after her dad's diagnosis. Together, they have taken on multiple fundraising challenges to support Mesothelioma UK. Read the full story here: https://ow.ly/WP1V50TE8SH
