Current Opportunities

The Kenya UK Breast Cancer Alliance project is an international collaboration between the UK and Kenya focused on improving early diagnosis and patient care through shared learning and co-designed educational activities. Your involvement will help ensure that patient voices play a central role in shaping the project’s discussions, priorities, and outcomes.

Meetings are called – Virtual Collaborative Education Design (ViRCoED) they will take place once per month from 5-7pm.

If you are interested in taking in part, please get in touch.

If you would like to get involved there are two groups you can get involved in:

• Enhanced group – you will support with developing an AI scenario on when a junior member of staff needs to escalate a concern to a senior staff member.
• Mental health group – if you have a lived experience of a mental health challenge or supporting family or friends, we would love your support with developing an AI scenario of a patient with a cancer diagnosis and mental health diagnosis.

Your perspective and lived experience will be invaluable in shaping realistic scenarios, ensuring the training reflects what matters most to patients and carers.

The group will meet periodically to review draft content, share feedback, and collectively design elements of the training modules. If you are interested in taking part, please submit an expression of interest detailing why you are interested in this project.

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.
