Specialist Nurses

In 2019, a group of nurse specialists with a particular interest in CLL joined to form a UK CLL Nurse Forum.

Our aim is to meet twice a year at the UK CLL Forum meetings and have dedicated time during the day to meet and discuss relevant topics such as vaccinations, courses available for nurse education, funding and bursaries available through Leukaemia Care and other sources, patient information used and most importantly to share experiences and best practice and ideas to improve patients’ experiences whilst living with CLL.

The UK CLL Nurse Forum creates a platform for nurses working with patients with CLL, to meet and provide a support network.

If you would be interested in getting involved then please contact us to find out more.
