Are you interested in getting involved in research? We were recently contacted by WCVA (Wales Council for Voluntary Action) and Macmillan who want to ensure that individuals in the TIN community are receiving the right level of care and easy access to it. Currently, they are finding that some communities/groups do not engage as much as others. Using a participative approach, they want to understand the barriers and opportunities to accessing services. This will be used in research to make recommendations to Macmillan to help ensure everyone in Wales can benefit from their services. If you are comfortable to talk about some of your experiences with cancer healthcare they have forms available here:
