Melanoma Focus
Melanoma Focus is a national charity dedicated to providing help and support to melanoma patients and healthcare professionals as well as raising awareness of melanoma, the 5th most common cancer in the UK.
For patients and their carers we provide the only Melanoma Helpline, run by experienced skin cancer nurses, specifically for anyone concerned about melanoma. Additionally, we have created a wide range of trusted patient information including the diagnosis and treatment of melanoma skin cancer and rare melanomas on our website and in booklet form. The Melanoma TrialFinder, a searchable resource has been designed to understand and locate potential clinical trials to discuss with a patient’s medical team.
For our professional membership, we organise biannual conferences where the latest scientific advances can be discussed in a wholly expert arena. Additionally, we have published clinical guidelines on rare melanomas and other areas of interest to the melanoma community. We provide funding to support research projects and developed resources to keep abreast of UK melanoma clinical trials, all in order to widen our impact on melanoma as a disease.
