LASAG SUPPORT WORKERS

 

MARIKA TOWNSEND

Educated to Masters level, Marika has worked with cancer patients most of her nursing career. She worked as a Clinical Nurse Specialist for the last 17 years in both palliative care and lung cancer. Her knowledge and experience has enabled her to support patients and families medically, emotionally and practically throughout their cancer journey. It seemed a natural progression after her retirement as a Lung Cancer CNS to work with LASAG where she is able to use much of her previous experience to support victims of asbestos related disease.

ADVICE & SUPPORT

Our advisors are very experienced in supporting sufferers of mesothelioma and other asbestos related conditions, and understand the impact such diseases have on individuals and their families, both physically and psychologically. They are also knowledgeable about state benefits and compensation schemes, and maintain close liaison with other key professionals in the care of the sufferer and their families.

HELP WITH COMPENSATION

We can signpost to legal advice and help from lawyers who are experts in dealing with asbestos disease claims.

It is so nice to speak to people with the same condition as myself. And so interesting for me and my wife to listen to the guest speakers. This is a marvellous group run by such lovely people who are so kind and helpful and nice to know they are always at the end of the phone. Long may it continue.
