Involving all voices in our work
Within the Patient Involvement Network at Cancer Research UK, we value diversity, and we're committed to creating an inclusive space where everyone can be themselves and help shape our work. We actively encourage applications from people of all backgrounds, communities and cultures and believe that a range of views and experiences will help us represent all people affected by cancer.
