about beatson cancer charity Beatson Cancer Charity supports people affected by cancer, every step of the way.
Beatson Cancer Charity supports people affected by cancer. We provide services and funding that enhance and strengthen NHS care and enable patients and their families to be helped swiftly and compassionately.
We are funding ground-breaking research projects such as the BARITONE Head & Neck Cancer Study and are funding 10 NHS specialist staff posts who provide dedicated support to Beatson patients and their family members. We also offer services at The Beatson West of Scotland Cancer Centre in Glasgow and in health board areas across the West of Scotland.
From the hospital wards, right to the heart of the communities that The Beatson serves, we believe everyone should experience their cancer treatment with care, with love and with hope.
As an independent charity, we can develop and extend our services further into the heart of Scottish communities to support more people with cancer before, during and after treatment. Amongst patients and the wider community, we are best known for our Wellbeing Centre and specialist support at The Beatson, as well as satellite services within other hospitals.
Meanwhile, clinical and research professionals recognise us for our ongoing commitment to more effective cancer services and supporting cutting-edge cancer research and education. All our work is made possible by our supporters.
It is their generosity which allows Beatson Cancer Charity to deliver an innovative and patient-focussed approach to cancer care and change the lives of those affected by cancer every day.
17 research staff members and 13 clinical staff members received funding from the charity for delivering research activities, clinical services and patient focused projects.
We also awarded 13 Staff Training and Development education grants, benefiting 17 Beatson clinical staff members. This funding was used to present research posters at conferences, undertake postgraduate training, attend study days and run educational events.
