Dr Cherith Semple
NICTN warmly congratulate Dr Cherith Semple on her recent and very well-deserved award of an MBE for services to nursing. Cherith was appointed to the role of Macmillan Clinical Nurse Specialist in Head and Neck Cancer in 1999 and in 2006 completed her PhD exploring post-treatment needs of patients with head and neck cancer and developed a psychosocial intervention. Based at the South Eastern HSC Trust, Cherith has worked with the NICTN in clinical research in the field of head and neck cancer, and is very active in research relating to her interest in survivorship and post-treatment quality of life issues for patients.
