Invitation to join the Cancer Advisory and Patient Strategy (CAPS) Group

Are you a cancer patient, survivor, or carer with lived experience of cancer services in Jersey? Would you like to help shape the future of cancer care on the island?

We are inviting expressions of interest from individuals who wish to join the new Cancer Advisory and Patient Strategy (CAPS) Group, a formal patient advisory sub-committee that will play a vital role in guiding the continued implementation of Jersey’s Cancer Strategy, Together.

Who can apply?
We welcome applications from:

  • – People currently living with cancer
  • – Cancer survivors
  • – Family members or carers of those affected by cancer

We are especially keen to ensure representation from all different backgrounds.

About the CAPS Group:
The CAPS Group will consist of 11 members, the majority of whom will have lived experience. Members will work collaboratively with Health and Care Jersey, Macmillan Cancer Support Jersey, and Jersey Hospice Care to co-produce improvements in cancer services, from early diagnosis to palliative care.

What to expect:

  • A meaningful opportunity to influence cancer care policy and service design
  • Quarterly meetings (starting in September 2025)
  • Support with accessibility, transport, and digital access
  • A safe, inclusive, and respectful environment

How to apply:

To express your interest, please email [email protected] or call Gemma Gouveia/Kerry Smith on 442661, deadline: 31st July 2025

We are also working with Macmillan Jersey and Jersey Hospice Care to share this invitation through their networks. If you know someone who might be interested, please help us spread the word.

Your voice matters. Help us build a cancer care system that truly reflects the needs and experiences of our community.
