Mustard Tree Staff
You may come across a variety of staff during your contact with the Centre. Here you can find out a little bit more about who they are and what they do.
Support Specialist
Our Support Specialists are all healthcare professionals by background with various Oncology experience. They are available for 1:1 appointments if you’d like to discuss your concerns or if you have any questions. For medical concerns, they will signpost you to your clinical team but they can offer emotional support and self-management techniques.
Physiotherapist
A physiotherapist is available by referral only and can refer onward to some of our physical activity programmes. Speak to your clinical nurse specialist (CNS) team or a member of the Mustard Tree Team for a referral.
Benefits Advisor
A Cancer diagnosis can sometimes have an impact on your finances, especially if you are unable to work during or after treatment. We have a Macmillan Benefits Advisor who is able to offer advice on whether you are entitled to any benefits and can even help with the application process. They can also signpost you to further advice or support.
Counsellor
We have a team of qualified counsellors with specific cancer training. Following a consultation with one of our Support Specialists, they can refer you, if this option is right for you.
Complementary Therapist
Our trained therapists offer specialist therapies to aid relaxation and promote a sense of wellbeing.
Support Worker
Support Workers can provide Holistic Needs Assessments (HNAs), which will help to identify any unmet needs you may have. A care plan can be formulated to support you in managing your concerns. Support Workers can also signpost you to additional support.
Admin support and Centre Manager
Our team of administrators and managers work behind the scenes to help ensure the smooth running of the centre. They are responsible for operational procedures, coordinating staff rotas, booking appointments, processing donations, ordering patient information, organising staff training, education days, team meetings and much more.
