Cancer Sub-Group

This group aims to support local cancer survivors, patients and interested parties in shaping and influencing the provision of cancer care locally. The group has supported the Skin Cancer Campaign and developed close working relationships with key stakeholders in the area. One of the members has started to ‘blog’ based on her experiences locally and will feed in to the Quality Account for the Royal Marsden Hospital Foundation Trust.

The group has commenced outreach work with women from BME communities to help local health services understand and address the barriers to breast and cervical screening. Focus groups have already been held with Somali and Moroccan women and this work will be ongoing throughout 2010.

The cancer sub-group meets every three months. The minutes from the meetings from January 2010 to date can be viewed by clicking on the links below:
