The quotes this article has chosen are really poor - public trust is of course vital to any transformation, but data is at the heart of CRUK’s research strategy for a reason and efforts to support data-driven research are incredibly welcome theguardian.com/society/2024/o…

Of course we Cancer Research UK Policy will be sharing our proposals, but full credit to DHSC for investing in lots of ways for everyone to share their views on the NHS's future. While there's tonnes of evidence out there on what works (+ what doesn't), patient & public insights are so key!

I don't think it could be a more exciting time to be working in health policy - and I might be biased, but I also think that Cancer Research UK Policy (and my team in Health Policy!) is one of the best places for it. Apply now, and help us in beating cancer through policy change⬇️⬇️⬇️
