Norwich City Cancer Support Centre

Julian

I am the nursing and support lead for Big C, managing the Norwich team at the NNUH centre and soon to open city centre on Dereham Road. I work with the support team within the centres delivering holistic nursing support.

I have a deep belief and desire to deliver person centred holistic care, in a sensitive and compassionate way to our cancer population, their families and friends.

Jenny

Based at the Norwich Centre, I offer high quality support and information to anyone affected by cancer. I visit the Big C centres at King’s Lynn and Great Yarmouth for booked nurse appointments, as well as the Pear Tree Centre at Halesworth.

I have had various roles as an oncology nurse. My first role was working on the oncology ward as a Registered nurse. I then transferred to the outpatient nursing team working in a variety of clinics and was part of the brachytherapy team delivering radiotherapy treatment for ladies diagnosed with cervical cancer. Other roles included working with the Acute Oncology team, a seconded Clinical Nurse Specialist post caring for those diagnosed with primary brain tumours and Senior Staff Nurse managing the outpatient nursing team.

I joined Big C, in October 2019 as a Support and information Nurse, having spent several years both in the NHS and Private sector as an Oncology/Chemotherapy Specialist Nurse. I was promoted to my current role, as a Clinical Nurse Specialist, with Big C in March 2022.

It is a privilege to work for such a wonderful charity and to also be part of such an amazing team, supporting and improving the lives of anyone affected by cancer in our community.

Support, information and wellbeing – whatever support looks like to you, I aim to provide.

I work at Big C to provide support to those who are in need, and to work in a fulfilling and meaningful role in my community.

Joanna

I meet and greet at our NNUH Centre, listen to people and provide support and information. My role also includes facilitating small groups – I help with the palliative group and sometimes the NNUH women’s group.

On retiring from the NHS after 35 years mainly in palliative care nursing roles, I still wanted to help and communicate with people affected by cancer – using my vast experience in palliative care, along with my skills and knowledge in all areas dealing with patient care.

Abi

I am a Support and Information officer so I am here to listen to and support those affected by cancer and the people around them, and to help find the information they need during their treatment journey and beyond.

Having had family members who have experienced cancer and previously worked in the third sector helping people, I felt that the Big C was an invaluable service where I could make a positive difference to people’s lives.

Craig

I support individuals affected by cancer.

My interest in humanism and desire to better understand cancer from an individualistic point of view is what attracted me to Big C. Had I known about the free support that Big C offers, when my father was diagnosed with stomach cancer in 2012, I like to think I would have dared to walk through that door—because what awaits behind it is not to be feared, but to be delighted in.
