About the opportunity
All.Can is a non-profit organisation focused on improving the efficiency and quality of cancer care. They are developing a report and policy recommendations to make cancer care more person-centred, an approach that prioritises the needs, values, and active involvement of individuals and families in planning and delivering care.
Your insights will help ensure that the experiences of people affected by cancer shape these recommendations. This will give policymakers a clearer understanding of why improving cancer care matters and combine evidence from clinicians, researchers, and people like you.
What will you do?
- Take part in a 30-minute online interview via Zoom or Teams
- Review and approve any quotes used in the final report
- Receive a short discussion guide before the interview (no preparation needed)
All.Can is looking for real experiences, not polished answers, just your honest perspective.

- Anyone who has had cancer
- Carers or loved ones of someone with cancer
- No prior experience or knowledge required
