A day in the life of...

I have been working as a Macmillan community nurse for three years now and palliative care is my passion. It is such a privilege to be welcomed into people’s homes at a very private and important moment in their lives. People often ask me how I cope in my role which can very challenging at times. I tell them that the human spirit and the resilience of the people that I meet every day really inspires me. This year is significant for Macmillan as it marks the 40th anniversary of the first Macmillan nursing team. Knowing that I can make a real difference to the lives of people affected by cancer is what motivates me every day.
