Wessex Cancer Alliance: Patient and Public Involvement Steering Group and Network
Wessex Cancer Alliance has commissioned the Involving People (IP) team at Help & Care to involve volunteers with lived experience in the work of the Alliance. Through a Steering Group (SG) and broader Network, the Alliance is able to involve people in all their work programmes in inclusive and meaningful ways.
The Steering Group acts as a critical friend to ensure patient and public involvement is effective, holding the Alliance to account in fulfilling its responsibilities in relation to public and patient involvement.
The Network enables us to invite more people with lived experience to be involved in a range of opportunities identified by the Alliance.
The video below hears from the amazing Joanna, who is involved with the group and is an expert by experience. It highlights how important lived experience is.
How can you get involved?
We are always looking for people with lived experience to join the steering group. The flyer below has more information, or you can click here to find out more. We welcome a chat with anyone interested- do send us an email.
