We are bringing together people affected by blood cancer with research and clinical experts to form a Taskforce focused on improving survival rates from blood cancer. The Taskforce will seek to understand why differences in survival exist across the UK and make recommendations for improvement. We will draw the findings into a report called the UK Blood Cancer Action Plan. To make sure that the Action Plan will help everyone, the membership of the Taskforce needs to include people from different backgrounds and experiences. We are seeking people from a Black, Asian or Minority Ethnic background because they are currently under-represented. The Taskforce will have quarterly meetings over an 18 month period and you will be supported by a programme manager throughout.
If you are interested in finding out more, please contact Jackie, on jferguson@bloodcancer.org.uk to express your interest.
We want to hear from you, whatever type of blood cancer you have. Thank you for your support!
