Have your say on a new resource

The GRACE research team has been working with patients, carers and healthcare professionals to identify ways to improve how people make decisions about consent for radiotherapy for gynaecological cancer. Find out more about the GRACE project

 

The ideas shared during these workshops have now been brought together into a visual resource. The team is inviting people to take part in evaluation workshops to share their views on the resource and help identify any areas that could be improved.

Upcoming evaluation workshops

The GRACE research team is holding two workshops and would welcome people who are interested in sharing their views. Lunch and refreshments will be provided.
