We need your help to improve our cancer information.

We produce information about cancer types and treatments, as well as emotional, practical and financial issues. You might have already read some of this information, in our booklets or on our website.

Sometimes there are differences between the laws or health services across the four nations of the UK. We’ve recently changed the way we write about these differences in our information, and we’d love to hear your thoughts about the changes and about how we can improve on them. This is your chance to have your say on our information and how we can make it more relevant to you! We need you – whether you're living with cancer, in remission, a carer or a family member.

We’re holding three half-day focus groups for people affected by cancer in the Celtic nations:

  • Wales – late July in north Wales.
  • Northern Ireland – late September in Belfast.
  • Scotland – early October in Perth.


We've only fixed a date for Wales so far, so if you want to come along to the focus groups in Scotland or Northern Ireland, you can help us choose the dates!

At each focus group we will review two of our information booklets. We want to find out how relevant and inclusive they are for people affected by cancer in the Celtic nations. We’ll send you these booklets before the meeting so you can read through them.

Lunch and refreshments will be provided and we will reimburse reasonable travel and parking expenses from across your nation. 

If you'd like to take part but can’t attend on the day, we are also happy for people to comment by email. Please get in touch if you'd like to do this.
