Partner The National BME Cancer Patient Advisory Panel In 2007, the Cancer Reform Strategy reported that "Patient experience surveys have shown that BME groups in general report a worse experience of treatment and care". The National Cancer Action Team has set the panel up as so to: * Provide the NHS with information to help support and improve cancer services * Give cancer patients and carers from a BME background a voice and an opportunity to share their experiences We will be running 3 to 4 surveys a year to find out about various aspects of patients' cancer journey (i.e. information, access, treatment). Panel members can either answer questions online (in English) or can choose to be interviewed over the phone, by someone who speaks their first language. The panel are also keen to hear from those who have cared for a family member or friend with cancer. For more info and how to join, please visit their website or download this leaflet.
