About Northern Cancer Voices

NCV brings together patients, their families and carers, creating a two-way dialogue with them and noting their experiences. This information will then be shared with key stakeholders such as: health professionals across primary and secondary care, the Northern Cancer Alliance, Macmillan and voluntary sector organisations with the intention of improving the services provided to patients, their families and carers. The information is collected via online and in person surveys at support group meetings, health fairs and other community events. It is then collated and sent to those that can impact change.
