Speaker Evening with Dr Bryson Pottinger from Treliske Hospital

The Cove Macmillan Support Centre In Cornwall

The Cove Macmillan Support Centre will provide a dedicated facility for people affected by cancer, whether they're the patient, are caring for someone or are simply worried about cancer.

Cancer affects every part of one's life and people need financial, emotional and practical support, as well as medical treatment. The Cove Macmillan Support Centre will mean people have a place to come to when they need support, and will offer a wide range of services to make sure people with cancer have the best quality of life they can.

More than 21,000 people in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly are living with cancer.

Dr Bryson Pottinger

Bryson took his medical degree in Glasgow, graduating in 1992, and did most of his general medical training there.  After a spell as an infectious diseases doctor, he discovered an interest in haematology and moved to Manchester for specialist training.  On completion of this training, he took up a consultant post in Treliske in 2006.  His sub-speciality interests are stem cell transplantation and the treatment of lymphoma and leukaemia.  He is the Facility Director for stem cell transplantation for the Royal Cornwall Hospital Trust (RCHT), the clinical lead for laboratory haematology and the RCHT director of cancer services.  He says "If I ever get any spare time, I might develop some hobbies".
