In this video, Joanna explains her role as a Patient Experience member. She describes some of the roles she has been asked to support and why it matters to her. She also talks about how people with lived experience can help to improve cancer care.
Wessex Cancer Alliance knows that people affected by cancer are important partners in shaping local cancer services and support.
How people want to get involved will vary, so we want to offer different ways of doing this.
Local cancer support groups and charities play a vital role in supporting patients and care-givers. Community support can help people facing a cancer diagnosis or treatment, and those living beyond cancer to have more control over their own lives.
