Purpose of role

The supportive oncology directorate board meets every month except during August. The meetings are usually held using MS Teams, although we are considering introducing the option to attend face-to-face or remotely by MS Teams in the future.

The volunteer role of supportive oncology board patient/user representative will help to ensure that the work we do is informed by patients and the public. You will use your experience as a patient or carer to represent the residents of Greater Manchester and Cheshire.

You will need to be a resident of The Christie patient catchment area and have knowledge of the local area. We are looking for 2 to 4 people who have either completed their cancer treatment and are now living with cancer, or who have cared for someone currently living with cancer.

In this role, you will help us to ensure our patients remain at the heart of everything we do by making our services more patient centred. Together, we aim to improve the care and services we provide for years to come.

Providing supportive oncology care involves medical and non-medical teams working together to help to prevent and manage the effects of cancer and its treatment. It includes prehabilitation, management of treatable but incurable cancer, curative disease, cancer survivorship and palliative and end of life care.

Supportive care at The Christie involves a range of areas working together including psycho-oncology, palliative care, dietetics and nutrition, speech and language, occupational therapy, chaplaincy, survivorship, enhanced supportive care and specialist frailty services/senior adult oncology.

Time commitment

Meetings usually take place on a Thursday from 12 to 1.30pm. However, to accommodate teams with clinical commitments, we ask for some flexibility around the date and time of meetings.

For face-to-face meetings, it can be helpful to have paper copies or to bring your laptop to the meeting.
