ICM Research in Focus – Engagement, involvement and inclusion in research

September 4, 2024

This week, Ellie Wolmark is joined by Dr Claire King, Cherry May Sanchez and Dr Rhys Grant to discuss some of the amazing engagement, involvement and inclusion initiatives that we run here at the CRUK Cambridge Centre at the University of Cambridge, UK. They share how and why we engage and involve patients and the public in our research, and focus on the importance of championing equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) in all aspects of our work. You will also hear about some of our projects for working with hard-to-reach communities, including how our Nursing and Allied Health Professionals Programme are helping to tackle health inequalities for people experiencing homelessness.

Dr Claire King is Programme Manager for the Cancer Immunology and Advanced Cancer Imaging programmes as well as an EDI Champion for the CRUK Cambridge Centre.

Cherry May Sanchez is CRUK Senior Research Nurse and co-Lead for the Nurses and Allied Health Professionals Programme at the CRUK Cambridge Centre.

Dr Rhys Grant is the Engagement Lead and an EDI Champion for the CRUK Cambridge Centre.
