Have your say – Supportive Care Research

We've established the first Candlelighters Supportive Care Research Centre (CSCRC) at the University of York to develop effective, kinder care for young people with cancer, which will save lives, reduce suffering, and bring hope.

The CSCRC has started to bring together the world’s leading supportive care experts to carry out high-quality research. The team of experts now needs your help to select which of the key areas of research will be first examined with their high-quality research programme.

We're asking patients, families, and those working with children and young people with cancer to rank 20 different supportive care research areas to help us work out how to do this.

Please add your voice here.

The results of this survey will be used alongside other work with professionals and young people affected by childhood cancer to shape the future of the research. Every response is valuable to the future of children and young people with cancer. Thank you for your help.
