Rishi has presented staff at the Friarage Hospital with the Myeloma UK Award for their commitment to patients living with incurable blood cancer.

The MP praised the team for going above and beyond to improve the lives of people with myeloma.

A national accolade awarded by blood cancer charity Myeloma UK, the Myeloma UK Clinical Service Excellence Programme (CSEP) Award recognises hospitals’ commitment to raising the bar for treatment and providing compassionate care.

Rishi said: "It was great to meet the team and some of the patients who have benefited from the excellent standard of care which is rightly recognised through this award. The skills and compassion of the team delivering this treatment was so evident in what the patients told me about what was being done for them.

"This is another example of the wonderful healthcare provided by staff at the Friarage Hospital, helping to demonstrate that it has a bright future."

Sarah Clarkson, Haematology Clinical Support Sister at Friarage Hospital, added: “We are delighted to have been accredited with the Myeloma UK CSEP Award. Our aim is to deliver optimum treatment and care for myeloma patients by offering an individualised approach.

“Managing the care and treatment for myeloma can be complex and we aim to continuously improve this by gaining a deeper understanding through sharing knowledge and information. We are extremely grateful to Myeloma UK for their support and look forward to working with them to continue delivering the best outcomes for our patients.”
