CMCA Roadshow - Runcorn.pngPeople across Cheshire and Merseyside can share their views about cancer services, treatment, care and support at three roadshows in September.

Cheshire and Merseyside Cancer Alliance (CMCA) will meet the public at pop-up events throughout the region, asking people about their experiences of cancer – either concerning them or a loved one, friend or colleague – so that these stories can influence how services are shaped.

People will also be asked if they want to become a patient representative at the Alliance, helping to raise awareness of cancer with the public or being a ‘voice’ of patients when new initiatives on cancer are discussed.

The CMCA roadshows will take place in Runcorn, Liverpool and Chester.

CMCA has been holding roadshows since 2022 and successfully capturing people’s experiences of cancer and recruiting more than 60 patient representatives.

Tracey Wright, CMCA Deputy Director, said: “It is fantastic that our Health Inequalities and Patient Experience team have been able to arrange more public roadshows, visiting new areas and ensuring the people of Cheshire and Merseyside feel heard when sharing experiences of their cancer journey.

“Recognising the lack of patient voices across our communities, we have chosen to visit people where they live to capture people’s experiences and stories at a location convenient to them.”

The details of the free roadshows are:

Runcorn: Friday, September 5th – 9am to 1pm – Shopping City

Chester: Wednesday, September 10th – 9am to 1pm – Grosvenor Shopping Centre

Liverpool: Monday, September 15th – 9am to 5pm – St John’s Shopping Centre
