Role of the Patient Panel
EORTC Patient Panel is an advisory board of independent patient advocates, former patients and caregivers of different age, gender and with different personal experiences.
Its main objective is to provide a voice of lived experience of cancer to EORTC and help the organisation enhance patient involvement in different facets of its cancer clinical research.

It is an honour and privilege to be invited to chair the EORTC Patient Panel.
I have been involved with research as a patient advocate for a number of years working with many different organisations and feel this experience will be crucial for the role especially with networking and forming connections to enhance the collaboration between patients and scientific and clinical researchers as a partnership in all research.
The incredibly experienced voices of the Patient Panel members do help researchers to ensure patients are not only at the heart of research but as the equal partner right from the conception and design of all research.

Chair
