'Patient Trial Advocate' (PTA) Service by Make 2nds Count
make2ndscount.co.ukMake 2nds Count Patient Trial Advocate (PTA) Service
The PTA service is here to help secondary breast cancer patients potentially find a clinical trial and to support them through the clinical trial process.
Finding the right information about available clinical trials and understanding the associated complex information is a challenge for all secondary breast cancer patients.
The PTA is ran by senior research nurses with experience in secondary breast cancer and clinical trials.
If you are a patient living in the UK with metastatic breast cancer and interested in seeking advice about a clinical trial, please complete the referral form on the PTA section of the M2C website and book a slot to speak with a member of the team.

Living with cancer can be tough on your finances. You might not be able to earn in the same way. You’ll probably spend more on everyday costs like heating and getting around.

They have specialist knowledge of welfare benefits, tax credits and grants and can offer you up-to-date, invaluable advice. Working in partnership with Citizens Advice Birmingham, we provide free face-to-face benefits advice to people affected by cancer, including carers and families, at hospitals and other locations across Birmingham and Solihull. We can provide advice on what benefits you could claim if you cannot work, if you are experiencing health problems as a result of treatment, or if you have a low or reduced income; help you with applications for benefit – making calls or filling in forms; help you apply for one-off grants, eg to help with fuel costs, to pay for a convalescent holiday or a new household item; assist you with appealing against decisions on your benefit entitlement; refer you to other support with debt, housing, employment and pensions. We also offer face to face and telephone appointments.

Russian Cancer Support Group
Smethwick / e-c-n.co.uk
We will use Multilingual interpreter at each session where people with cancer or their carers will be able to take part in discussions, interact with different health & social care speakers, visit different community groups to develop links. We will also work on building confidence and motivating volunteers to learn how to arrange and facilitate group meetings, so they can be self-sufficient in the future to run the group.We hope to be able to reach “hard to engage with” people from Eastern Europe. We will engage with Eastern European cancer patients & their carers who are isolated and don’t access services available locally due to language and cultural barrier. We aim to bring professionals from Health & social care to the groups meetings and using multilingual facilitators to get the message across. Volunteer’s expenses will be used for trips to other groups where they can learn from each other. Leaflets and posters will also be produced in both English and East European languages regarding the content of each of the sessions and information about how they can attend.
