Transplant Social Workers

Transplant Social Workers

Bev has worked as a social worker on the Transplant Unit since 2008 having previously worked on the Haematology and Transplant Unit at the Christie Hospital.

Rebecca joined the Transplant Unit in 2023 on a part-time basis and continues to work 3 days at the Manchester Adult Cystic Fibrosis Centre, where she has worked since 2010.

The social workers provide advice, information and support with both practical and financial issues. Emotional and psychological support is also offered to patients and their families following lung or heart transplant/VAD.

We have an open-door policy and are very happy to see people at any time about any issue causing concern. We will always try and help or signpost to the most appropriate service. Appointments can also be made. 

Bev works Monday – Friday and Rebecca works Thursday – Friday.

VIRTUAL PRE-TRANSPLANT SUPPORT GROUP

We would like to invite you to our virtual transplant support group on Microsoft Teams. We meet monthly between 10 and 11am on Friday mornings, generally the last Friday of the month, offering the opportunity to speak with others on the transplant waiting list. Each meeting has a different professional speaker covering all aspects of transplant and after-care, with time for open discussion and support.

If you are interested in joining, please contact Beverley or Rebecca on Tel: 0161 291 2695 / 3185 or email Beverley.jones@mft.nhs.uk / Rebecca.fallon@mft.nhs.uk and we will send you the link.

We look forward to hearing from you, either through the group or individually if you need support.
