The Involvement Network
We are committed to involve people affecting by cancer in our work. The Patient Involvement Network works with us to help shape and influence our work through various activities. You don’t need any prior knowledge of Cancer Research UK, experience of Patient and Public Involvement, or an understanding of research or scientific understanding of cancer to join the network.
We value diversity and we strive to create an inclusive and inclusive space where everyone can be themselves and help shape our work. We actively encourage applications from people of all backgrounds, communities, and cultures and believe that a range of views and experiences will help us represent all people affected by cancer.
