Patient and carer involvement
Your voice, your impact. Join us in transforming cancer care.
We believe the best cancer care comes from listening to the people who know it best—patients, carers, and the public. By sharing your experiences, insights, and ideas, you can help shape better services and support for everyone. Whether you’re new to public involvement or already passionate about making a difference, we’d love to have you join us.

What’s it like to work with us?
“Using my own experiences as a patient and carer to contribute positively to developing training films 'Telling your child you have cancer' and 'Supporting families and carers of people with cancer' has felt worthwhile and hopefully will be useful to others. I have also learnt a lot thanks to the support of the Chair and other members of the group.”
