The objective of A Seat at the Table is to increase the number of informed cancer patients, survivors and caregivers sitting on cancer and other health care Boards, committees and research peer review panels where decisions are being made about cancer diagnosis, treatment, post-treatment care and research funding.
We are looking for volunteers to:
- Become members of our Patient Engagement Advisory Committee to provide advice and guidance for our A Seat at the Table project.
- Be nominated to sit on cancer and other healthcare Boards, committees and research peer review panels where decisions are being made about cancer care, including who will receive funding to conduct cancer research.
- Help us develop curriculum so that patients can be better informed about healthcare and cancer care issues.
Please contact CCSN President & CEO Jackie Manthorne (jmanthorne@survivornet.ca) for the Committee’s terms of reference or to indicate your interest in being nominated to sit on Boards and committees. If you would like to help develop curriculum, please contact CCSN Secretary Mona Forrest (mforrest@survivornet.ca).
