What is a Macmillan nurse?

Macmillan nurses are specialist nurses in cancer treatment and care, supporting people with cancer from the time they are diagnosed.

They offer emotional support and practical advice to people with cancer and their families in the UK and are highly trained in managing pain and other symptoms.

Macmillan nurses provide treatment and care to patients in hospital and in their homes. Some Macmillan nurses are also specialists in certain types of cancer, such as breast cancer and lung cancer.

Macmillan nurses work within the National Health Service and patients do not pay for them.

They are funded by Macmillan Cancer Relief for the first three years, and then by the NHS.
