Sustained and creative patient and public involvement and engagement (PPIE) is critical to the success of cancer vaccine trials and research.
The vaccine trials programme will rely on a wide range of engagement activities, with and for a variety of groups of people, to create opportunities for conversations and consultations on this fascinating and possibly game changing area of cancer research.
First steps: testing the water and preventative vaccinations
Consultations with patient groups began in the Spring and Summer of 2024. In partnership with Oxford’s Oncology Clinical Trials Office (OCTO), and with the help of professional facilitators, Oxford Cancer organised a pair of meetings to hear from people on the subject of cancer vaccinations.
