Welcome to Independent Cancer Patients' Voice

Independent Cancer Patients' Voice (ICPV) is a patient advocate group independent of established UK cancer charities and aware of the value of medical research to both public health and to the national economy. Our experiences as patient advocates lead us to believe that medical research in the UK needs an independent cancer patients' group, whose strategy is led by patients. We bring the opinions, views and experience of cancer patients, their family and carers, to the cancer research community– the voice of the patient.  Read more

New Website

Over recent weeks we have been updating and redesigning the ICPV website. We hope you like it. This is naturally a 'work in progress' and over time more material will be added and thngs will develop.

What we do

We involve patients in clinical research (including clinical trials, working with clinical/academic units, tissue banks etc) putting the patient perspective and helping to improve clinical research. This, we believe, leads to better recruitment to clinical trials and faster improvements in treatments and outcomes for all cancer patients. Read more
