Help us make research better for everyone
Your experience can help shape research and clinical trials, and ensure everyone who needs new treatments get access.
What would you like to learn more about?
Your experience of blood cancer can directly shape how clinical trials are designed and who gets to take part. We particularly want to hear from people whose voices have often been missing from these conversations.
The more we hear from different people, the better trials work for everyone.
You choose how and when you get involved. There's no pressure to do more than feels right.

How people like you are shaping research
Our community's voices have already shaped how blood cancer research and clinical trials are done. From specific changes to a trial's design, to broader changes in how research funding is decided, the impact has been real. Here are some examples.
"Really great to see that our combined effort has resulted in what looks like pretty comprehensive information, guide and support. For me personally, being asked to input thoughts and ideas to any research and information around blood cancer is a real lift. It’s so good to see something positive come from a fairly scary chronic condition. Experiencing any cancer can be a lonely old road, it’s good to be part of helping with understanding that.”

Working to make clinical trials fairer for everyone
We know that people from some communities are less likely to take part in clinical trials, even though they may be at higher risk for some blood cancers.
