Member of Programme Assurance Group (PAG)
We are looking for one patient and carer representative to join the Programme Assurance Group, which is responsible for the oversight of all programmes of work within the Alliance to deliver the operational planning guidance and the ambitions for cancer in the NHS Long Term plan.

It is a varied meeting with all the pathway boards and programmes boards presenting progress on their deliverables, explaining their financial position and identifying any new and emerging risks including how they’re being managed.

The patient and carer representative provides a unique perspective and is in the perfect position to appropriately challenge the updates given to the group and they are an integral part of the decision making. As the programme assurance meetings cover all elements of the Cancer Alliance Programme, we need you to ensure that we continue to have the patient at the heart of everything we do, and by bringing the diverse views of your fellow representatives who sit on the individual boards, ensure that the lived experience is informing our progression.

Availability: Monday afternoon (usually 2-4pm) once a month, face to face at The Christie
