Patients are at the heart of research. They connect healthcare staff and scientists, clinical practice and community understanding, hard data and human meaning. Behind every dataset is a life, a family, a story.

Cancer patients are helping shape research that reflects real lives. This is Patient and Public Involvement – and it’s helping to improve research.

Delighted to have this finally to highlight all the essential work done by PPI contributing to research. @ldcrc-ul.bsky.social @hri-ul.bsky.social @unioflimerick.bsky.social @aicri.bsky.social
