A small community can be defined as an ‘expert by experience’ focus group, where members share lived experience of a particular cancer type/pathway, and help us to make improvements.

We are looking to expand our small communities to ensure we hear from a diverse range of patient and carer viewpoints, and are particularly interested in those who have been diagnosed or affected by cancer recently.
