Take part in an interview to help researchers better understand the impact of a cancer diagnosis on care givers so they can be better supported.
What’s the project about?
This project is working to better understand how a cancer diagnosis can impact carers. The researchers would like to interview 15 carers with a cancer diagnosis and 15 people who are cared for by someone with cancer.
The researchers then hope to develop a toolkit for health and social care professionals to better support caregivers with cancer.
Who can take part?
You can take part if you’re over 16 and you care for a person over the age of 16 with a physical health condition. You must also have been diagnosed with cancer in the last 2 years.

Why do you want me to be involved?
By sharing your experience, you can help researchers better understand how a cancer diagnosis can impact carers. That way, they can develop better support for caregivers who’ve been diagnosed with cancer.
What will you ask me to do?
You’ll take part in a 1 hour interview, either in person (if you live in the North West of England) or online. You can choose the time, date, and location.
