NHS stories

It’s so true that if you give a little you get an awful lot back. It’s really not possible to say it enough, but it is a truly fantastic service.

I don’t see myself as just a driver, I help out wherever needed. Anything that needs doing, I will do, willingly.

It saves so much time and it stands to reason it is going to alleviate any extra stress.

I love the relaxed atmosphere on the bus and I love the sociable element of it too. It really is a fantastic service and I feel very privileged to be a part of it.

The big difference is the smaller, more intimate environment on the unit and the speed at which people can be seen.

Working on the unit is very rewarding. I love my job and I love helping people.

It’s a job I didn’t see in my future years ago back when I was in the fire service, but I honestly can’t imagine not doing it now.

I absolutely love working on the MCU. I feel so lucky as a nurse to be a part of this. I wouldn’t change it for the world.

I am so honoured to be a part of it, and at the end of the working day I can honestly say I go home with a lovely warm glow inside.

Because we offer a small, intimate environment for treatment, it is much easier to put people at ease.The first-time chemo nurse Sarah Bamford went out on the mobile cancer care unit, she knew...

My opportunity to give something back to the NHS.

Patient feedback has been wonderful

I loved the idea of cancer care that came to patients.

I’m just so proud to be able to nurse on board the mobile cancer care unit, every trust should have one; they really do change people’s lives.
