This is the total amount required to recruit a new Nurse for a period of two years.

A letter from Alison Milne - Endocrine Nurse at The Pituitary Foundation:

"I don't usually write letters like this but I need to ask for your help. My name is Alison Milne and I am the Endocrine Nurse at The Pituitary Foundation - you may have called me at some point or you may know someone who has.  I have been running the Endocrine Nurse Helpline solely for what will be 10 years this October. I believe that I offer a kind of support which would otherwise not be available.  

Each month I miss over 100 calls whilst on other calls and I think this is unacceptable.  Of course, not all pituitary patients need my help - but many do and I am unable to answer all calls with the limited Helpline time available.  

We desperately need to recruit a second nurse to work alongside me to ensure we are helping as many people as we can.  

Will you consider a very important gift this summer?   We can't appoint another nurse until the funding is in place.  A gift of just £25 today could help to fund a vital support session with our NEW Endocrine Nurse to support people who urgently need our help.  

Thank you - I hope you have a wonderful summer."

Here is an example of what your donation could fund:

£25 - Could pay for one session with our NEW Endocrine Nurse

£37 - Could pay for one session with our NEW Endocrine Nurse and a follow up support session

£50 - Could help to pay for our NEW Endocrine Nurse to run an online workshop or webinar on a topic such as 'Sick Day Rules'

£100 -  Could directly support 4 pituitary patients through our NEW Endocrine Nurse Helpline sessions

£200 - Could help to pay for our NEW Endocrine Nurse to run a workshop at a Local Support Group, Training Event or Conference
