Reviewer - NIHR Research for Patient Benefit Bid
We are looking for a patient and/or carer representative to help shape and review a research bid being developed with Manchester Metropolitan University.

The Greater Manchester Cancer Academy have developed an advanced communication skills training offer with Recourse: AI (is a leading conversational AI learning and assessment platform designed primarily for healthcare professionals).

In view of that, we would like to conduct a piece of research on its impact. We want to find out if individuals are gaining the skills they need through the training so they can communicate better with patients in practice.

If the project is successful there is scope to become more involved as the project develops.

Join our small communities!
Would you like to use your experience to help improve cancer services across Greater Manchester? Join our small communities!

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.

For more information on small communities, and experience/skills required, please read our terms of reference and our role profile
