Niche family law firm, Jones Myers, is enhancing comfort and wellbeing for cancer patients with a vital Airglove unit which warms and raises veins in patients’ arms.  

Patients at the Sir Robert Ogden MacMillan Centre in Harrogate will benefit from the air warming system which also reduces discomfort and stress for the nursing staff treating them.

Jones Myers has donated the device in memory of the firm’s late colleague, Neil Dring, a highly regarded, compassionate, and committed family lawyer who was a patient at the Centre.      

Sarah Barr-Young,  head of Jones Myers Financial Remedies Department in Harrogate who previously worked with Neil, said: “Neil was one in a million who cared enormously for his clients and his colleagues and inspired trust. He would be delighted to know that the Airglove air-warming machine will further improve the quality of treatment for cancer patients.” 

Part of the Harrogate and District Foundation NHS Trust, the facility diagnoses and treats wide-ranging cancers, offering a variety of care and complementary therapies.

Jackie Rowbottom, Macmillan Integrated Personalised Care Programme Lead (Harrogate and Rural District), is among the team who remember Neil with fondness.

Said Jackie: “I met Neil on the Unit while he was having treatment and, even under such difficult circumstances, he was an incredibly kind and nice man. I wish I could have known him better. We are so grateful for this very generous donation of the Airglove in his memory, thank you to everyone at Jones Myers”.

Laura Hodgkinson, a Sister on the chemotherapy unit, said the delivery of the machine is timely and extremely welcome: “We are thrilled to have the Airglove which can gently and safely warm someone’s arm and hand, making it easier to access their veins to give cancer treatments and other medications. This can save a lot of time for our staff, allows them to deliver the best level of care, and most importantly, makes the patient’s experience much easier and less stressful and uncomfortable.”

Yvonne Campbell, Head of Charity for Harrogate and District NHS Foundation Trust, commented: “We are incredibly grateful to Jones Myers for their generous support in memory of their colleague, Neil Dring. It was a very generous way to honour their beloved colleague, and we sincerely appreciate the firm’s commitment to supporting our services. The Airglove unit will make a real difference to patients at Harrogate and District NHS Foundation Trust.”

Jones Myers is helping to enhance the quality of care for cancer patients at the Sir Robert Ogden MacMillan Centre in Harrogate in memory of the firm’s late colleague, Neil Dring.  

A well-loved and highly-respected family lawyer who was passionate about achieving the best solutions for his clients, Neil is also fondly remembered by the team who treated him.

The Centre, part of the Harrogate and District Foundation NHS Trust, diagnoses and treats wide-ranging cancers, offering a variety of care and complementary therapies.  

Jones Myers Partner, Elizabeth Bell, and Sarah Barr-Young, who heads the firm’s Financial Remedies Department in Harrogate, were blown away by the team’s commitment to delivering outstanding patient care during a visit organised by Jacqueline Rowbotton, Macmillan Integrated Personalised Care Programme Lead (Harrogate District).

Said Liz: “Supporting the Centre aligns with our firm’s deep-rooted ethos of giving back to our local communities. We met some of the team, including nurses and a complementary treatment therapist, who all spoke fondly of Neil. Their heartfelt dedication to patients is inspirational and it was tremendous to hear how the treatments are complemented by holistic and therapeutic services”.

Jones Myers is contributing a much-needed new Airglove unit – an air-warming system designed to warm and raise veins in patients’ arms – to the Centre. 

Added Sarah:  “The medical team explained how some cancer patients’ veins are in ‘a poor stage’ and how the Airglove machine is invaluable in reducing discomfort and stress for both patients and the nursing staff. The timing of this new machine is vital for enhancing patients’ quality of care and Jones Myers is looking forward to a long-standing relationship with the Centre and its team.” 

Yvonne Campbell, Head of Charity for Harrogate and District NHS Foundation Trust, said:

“We are incredibly grateful to Jones Myers for their generous support, which has enabled us to purchase an Airglove unit for patients receiving treatment at the Sir Robert Ogden MacMillan Centre. This equipment will make a real difference to patient comfort and wellbeing, and we sincerely appreciate the firm’s commitment to supporting our services.”
