People in Humber and North Yorkshire are being encouraged to share their views on cancer and experiences of using cancer services as part of a regional community engagement roadshow series taking place this summer.
The community engagement roadshow series, which consists of lots of different events across the Humber and North Yorkshire region, is being organised by Humber and North Yorkshire Cancer Alliance to:
- raise awareness and improve understanding of cancer
- gain greater insight into any barriers to presenting early with cancer symptoms and attending cancer screening
- gain a deeper understanding of people’s experience of using cancer services
The roadshow will visit many of Humber and North Yorkshire’s cities and towns, where Cancer Alliance staff and colleagues from various partners will engage in conversations with people who have been treated for cancer, or members of the public to understand their understanding of and attitudes towards the disease.
Lucy Turner, Managing Director, Humber and North Yorkshire Cancer Alliance, said: “Humber and North Yorkshire Cancer Alliance has a proud record of using the views of cancer patients and members of public to influence our work and the work of our partners.
“Our community engagement roadshow series will provide invaluable insight about people’s views on cancer and experiences of the disease, particularly in communities in our region which experience the greatest health inequalities and perhaps do not feel that their voice is heard at times.
“Our friendly community engagement team are keen to speak to you. They’re bound to be in a city, town or village near you this summer so please spare a few minutes to share your views and experience of cancer with them.”
