The Cheshire and Merseyside Cancer Alliance (CMCA) People Panel includes non-cancer experience members of the public who volunteer their time to read draft patient information, answer surveys and review documentation produced by the Cheshire and Merseyside Cancer Alliance and the wider system.
As a member of the CMCA People Panel you would be sent copies of patient information, such as leaflets and letters, to help them ensure that they are clear and easy to understand before they are published.
You may also be asked to take part in workshops or be involved in projects to provide a non-cancer patient voice.
Why does the Cheshire and Merseyside Cancer Alliance need a People Panel?
There are members of the public who attend screening appointments and/or are referred on an urgent basis, however, they do not receive a cancer diagnosis. Therefore, they need to consult non-cancer experience people as this will help to ensure that written information is as accessible as possible to the diverse population served within the local community.
