Myeloma UK is the only organisation in the UK dealing exclusively with myeloma. We are helping myeloma patients live longer and with a better quality of life.

How? By accelerating the discovery, development and access to new treatments, while helping patients and their families cope with everything a diagnosis of myeloma brings.

We do this by:

• Funding a world-leading genetic research programme to discover and develop new “tailored” treatments
• Funding a groundbreaking Clinical Trial Network that gives patients access to new life-extending drugs
• Providing resources for healthcare professionals so that diagnosis is improved, best practice is shared and patients receive the best possible treatment and care
• Working in partnership with decision-makers to ensure the speedy approval of new drugs, and that the NHS provides the services patients and their families nee
• Supporting patients and their families through a comprehensive range of services including our Myeloma Infoline and Patient and Family Infodays

We receive no government funding and rely almost entirely on voluntary donations and fundraising activities.
