We want to hear about your experiences of long-term or metastatic breast cancer support
The Advanced Wellbeing Research Centre (AWRC) is working with Pfizer to support people with advanced breast cancer to help manage their condition and cancer progression effectively.
Our researchers are looking for UK based healthcare professionals and people with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) to participate in the research by completing a survey.
Who can participate?
You can participate if you:
- are a healthcare professional working with patients affected by advanced or metastatic breast cancer
- have been affected by advanced or metastatic breast cancer
What is the purpose of the survey?
Your responses will contribute to our development of a self-management support tool for people with MBC and healthcare professionals.
What are the benefits of taking part?
Your responses will help us to better understand the support tools and services people with advanced breast cancer are using to help them through their clinical journey. This will help us see where there are gaps in what people are accessing and help us to address these by creating better resources, tools and services.
This work is part of a larger project to co-design and co-develop evidenced based self-management support tools for people with MBC and and healthcare professionals to support their patient journey.
What will I be required to do?
To complete a short, online survey telling us about your experiences of accessing support services whilst living with, or caring for someone living with metastatic breast cancer. The survey will take approximately 10-20 minutes to complete.
Are there opportunities to participate further in the study?
At the end of the survey there is an opportunity to provide contact details if you would be happy to be interviewed by one of our team about your answers. This is entirely optional and would be arranged at a time that suits you. The interview will take roughly 30 minutes.
