Amy Munro
Support Services Manager | Northern Region - Waikato & Bay of Plenty

Working at the LBF means that I can maintain the aspect of nursing that I love – building long term supportive relationships with patients and their families.

This job is very rewarding and it is a privilege to know that we can make difference for patients and families during what can be one of the most stressful and traumatic periods of their lives.

Rebecca Weeks
Support Services Coordinator | Northern Region - Auckland & Northland

Being diagnosed with a blood cancer or related condition is a life-changing experience for both the patient and their family and friends. By providing practical, emotional and educational support, I hope to enable people to manage the consequences and impact of a diagnosis before, during and after treatment.

This role enables me to offer support (by phone, email or in person) and help address individual needs or concerns of anyone affected by a blood cancer or related condition.

Anita Wootton
Support Services Coordinator | Central Region

As a nurse I have had the privilege of supporting patients & their families through their experiences of diagnosis & treatment, which can be a stressful & uncertain period of time in their lives.  I view my role with the LBF as an extension of this, by enabling me to build on-going relationships with patients & their families to facilitate emotional, educational & practical support.

I relish the opportunity of engaging with people during this challenging time & potentially making a positive difference to their lives.

Christine Kerr

As a Support Services Coordinator, I enjoy getting to know patients and their families over what can sometimes be a long period of time.

Being diagnosed with a blood condition is not always easy, by providing information and support we aim to help people cope and to live positively with cancer.

Sharon Verrall

I enjoy my role with the LBF as it means I have an opportunity to have ongoing contact with patients outside of the hospital environment.

It is very rewarding to build long term supportive relationships knowing that a phone call can make so much difference.
