HASAG - Asbestos Disease Support

Here for you at this difficult time.

HASAG Asbestos Disease Support understands how important it is to continue supporting people and their families affected by asbestos-related diseases during this pandemic. For the safety of our patients, their families and our team, our coffee mornings are cancelled until further notice. However, we are running monthly Zoom coffee mornings and we have a Virtual Coffee Morning group on Facebook. Please get in touch if you are interested. We are visiting patients in their homes if they are comfortable with this. We are wearing masks and socially distancing as well as carrying sanitiser and using it regularly. As well as this, we are offering telephone or zoom appointments as an alternative. We are still in the office and available Monday-Friday 9am-5:30pm via telephone or email. Alternatively you can get in touch with us via social media Monday-Sunday and we will get back to you as soon as possible. Please know that HASAG’s support is still here for you.

Team HASAG.

Nurses’ Funding

Providing support for nurses

Ask any mesothelioma patient or their family members what makes a huge difference to them on a daily basis and many will say the tremendous support they receive from nursing staff.

Specialist nurses are a vital lifeline for mesothelioma patients and their families. They provide: care, support, medical advice and information, treatment options, updates on clinical trials as well as much-needed emotional support and comfort.

At HASAG, we appreciate and value the enormous contribution specialist nurses make to the lives of people suffering from asbestos-related diseases and their loved ones. That’s why we do everything we can to support them as much as possible.

We understand that continuing professional development plays an important part in maintaining expertise and the highest possible nursing standards.

We regularly set aside funds to support specialist lung cancer nurses to attend educational conferences. These events provide nursing staff with vast amounts of the very latest information and up-to-date research on treating and caring for people with mesothelioma and other asbestos-related illnesses. Nurses can take this learning back to their own clinical settings and share with colleagues, patients and families.

Our financial support includes not just entry fees to key events and conferences but travel and accommodation costs too.

Important conferences we have helped nurses to attend include:

  • World Lung Cancer Conference
  • International Mesothelioma Interest Group (IMIG)
  • British Thoracic Oncology Group (BTOG)
  • National Lung Cancer Forum for Nurses (NLCFN)
  • Mesothelioma UK events

To apply for funding towards the conference you are attending, please go to our Downloads and Resources page found in the Support tab.
