Delighted to have Dr Matthew Tate join the Scottish Mesothelioma Network. Dr Tate is a trainee in Respiratory Medicine in Glasgow and thanks to 2 years funding from our partners Macmillan Cancer Support,  has recently been appointed to the post of Macmillan Mesothelioma Clinical Fellow based within the Glasgow Pleural Disease Unit at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital.

His clinical role includes the care of people with suspected and proven mesothelioma both in and out of hospital. A focus his role will be collecting data and reporting outcomes from the Scottish Mesothelioma Network, examining how the network has impacted access to specialist diagnostic and symptom control services, new treatments and enrolment in clinical trials. He will also report on how the network has improved other services supporting people with mesothelioma across Scotland, such as support groups and new clinical nurse specialist posts.
