Filtering masks won’t stop isocyanates. Only air-fed RPE certified to BS EN 14594:2018 provides adequate protection, and it must include a low-flow warning device. Check equipment fit and maintenance regularly. 🧼 👉 workright.campaign.gov.uk/is…

We’re just two days away from our BBC Radio 4 appeal broadcast! 🗓️ For many people, the first time they learn about mesothelioma is when someone they love is diagnosed. Mesothelioma is an industrial cancer, almost exclusively caused by exposure to asbestos. Despite around 2,700 people being diagnosed each year, awareness of the disease remains low, and for the families affected, its impact is life changing. That’s why our Radio 4 appeal matters so much. By shining a light on the disease, we can help more people understand mesothelioma, the dangers of asbestos, and further support all those diagnosed. Let’s keep counting down together! Visit our appeal webpage to learn more about how you can support people affected: mesothelioma.uk.com/radio4ap… #BBCRadio4Appeal #MesotheliomaAwareness #MesotheliomaSupport #CharityAppeal

You may remember we recently shared the Global Mesothelioma Education Forum, which is now available to watch on YouTube. It was such a brilliant and thought-provoking webinar that we had to share it again. 240 people joined us to watch, including clinicians, scientists, patients, advocates and many others, for talks on the latest developments in mesothelioma. Thank you to Thoracic Oncology Frontiers for inviting us to collaborate alongside iMig, PREDICT-Meso and the UK3CR. Don't miss this opportunity to gain state of the art insights from mesothelioma experts. Watch now: youtu.be/OTglbtl8g0s #Mesothelioma #MedicalEducation #Webinar

Over 50k people have died from #mesothelioma since we opened our doors in 2004. #Asbestos exposure is the leading cause. As asbestos can still be found in many buildings, the danger hasn't disappeared. This #AMD2026, share this post to raise awareness & prevent future cases.

The Mesothelioma UK Research Centre are looking for help with surveys on planning ahead for people living with or affected by mesothelioma. It is an important opportunity to contribute to building much needed evidence on people’s experiences and the research findings will be used to develop resources to help families, and to support healthcare professionals. The short surveys are open to people living with mesothelioma in the UK, family carers, bereaved families or close friends. Visit: sheffield.ac.uk/murc/take-pa…
