Consumer engagement at WCMICS

Improving outcomes, experience and the delivery of cancer care is important to us. Whether you are a person affected by cancer, a carer, family, or friend to someone affected by cancer – your knowledge, skills, and experiences with cancer will help us to do better.

As a consumer representative, you will provide important information and perspectives on cancer care in our region.

Examples of activities our consumer representatives take part in, include:

• participating in service improvement project teams
• being part of a steering committee
• attending focus groups or completing patient surveys
• reviewing funding applications for new projects
• reviewing patient information such as brochures or internet resources.

The role is voluntary, and you will be able to tailor your involvement according to your level of interest and availability. Participation may be via face-to-face meetings, video conference, telephone, or email.

A formal onboarding and orientation process will be provided as well as ongoing support with external development and training opportunities. Reimbursement options are available.
