The aims of this stage of the research are to:

  • understand the experience and health/ support needs of British Armed Forces personnel/veterans with mesothelioma (with and without exposure through the Armed Forces) and family carers
  • identify how best health professionals and support agencies within the Armed Forces and NHS can best meet the care and support needs of British Armed Forces personnel/veterans with mesothelioma

Those taking part will be contacted by a member of the research team who will discuss the study in more detail. Following this, a date for an interview will be arranged. This will take place on the phone, or at a place to suit the participant, and should last around 30 minutes. All responses will be anonymised.
