What is a Cure Leukaemia Research Nurse?

Our Cure Leukaemia Research Nurses play a crucial role in the work we do, and our nurses are at the heart of the Trials Acceleration Programme (TAP).

Cure Leukaemia Research Nurses help connect patients to potentially lifesaving medicine and their role in administering these trials is vital to developing effective new treatments for blood cancers. As a result, patients have access to new treatments, allowing them access to lifesaving new therapies. Without having Research Nurses in place, clinical trials do not happen.
