Talking to people affected by cancer


 
The aim of The Macmillan Living With And Beyond Cancer Programme is to improve cancer care and support by 2020.  The team are looking for the help of the experts; people that have been directly impacted by cancer, as a patient or carer. 
 
They have drafted Principles for Patient Engagement to ensure they involve people affected by cancer and act on what they say.  These principles will set the gold standard for involvement across the region. 
 
This is your opportunity to have your say; have they got it right? What do they need to add in / remove?
 
You can find the Principles for Patient Engagement here, you can comment directly on this blog or email Richard Metcalfe, Macmillan Programme Lead (richard.metcalfe1@nhs.net)
 
There is a lot to celebrate in local cancer care and support this month, find out more in the team’s July ebulletin. You can sign up to receive the ebulletins by emailing Laura Boyd (laboyd@macmillan.org.uk)  
Sent on behalf of Healthwatch 

 
Healthwatch wanted to find out more about people from Black Minority Ethnic communities experiences of health and social care in the City. They asked people about their experiences of primary care, mental health and social care services. People were asked to think of what was good and bad about services and how it could be better. Please find the event briefing from the 7 December 2015 here.
