Help us improve Breast Cancer Care's online forum

As you know, Breast Cancer Care’s online forum is an important source of support and information for people affected by breast cancer. We’ve always had a lot of feedback from people using the forum, but we’d like to create a more formal user panel as part of Breast Cancer Voices to help us get regular feedback from forum users.

What is it for?
The purpose of the panel is to help us make sure our online community is useful to the people who need and use it. The panel will comment on the online forum, providing feedback on it in its current form, making suggestions for future developments and user-testing new developments. The panel may also provide feedback on other elements of Breast Cancer Care’s online activities, but the main focus will be the forum and community elements.

Who are we looking for?
We are looking for a diverse range of people to be involved in the panel but you must be a regular user of Breast Cancer Care’s online forum.

How will it work?
We envisage almost all communication taking place online, so participation will be quite flexible. There will be regular opportunities to get involved, probably taking between 20 minutes and 1 hour each month. We have already planned some user involvement activities for June-August, so ideally you would be available over the summer, but there will be opportunities to be involved throughout the year.

OK, I'm interested, how do I sign up?
We are managing recruitment to this panel through the Breast Cancer Voices programme, which is our user involvement programme (http://www.breastcancercare.org.uk/get-involved/breast-cancer-voices/). If you want to get involved, please contact Amarjit Kaur on
