SURVEY RESULTS
  (pdf download)

Dear  health campaigner,

You are receiving this email because you responded to a May 2016 survey from us on the

“Use of scientific information about cancer among carers, patients and the public”

[This survey was commissioned and sponsored by AstraZeneca]

We are pleased  to say that as many as 124 cancer-oriented patient/carer groups took part in the survey, and gave us their opinions on the subject.

Two of the more important findings from the survey are:

(i.) 99% of respondent patient/carer groups reported that people living with cancer (and their families/carers) want to know HOW cancer treatments work; and

(ii.) over 90% of respondent patient/carer groups stated that people living with cancer must understand scientific concepts about the disease if they are to better manage their cancer.

To thank you for taking part in the survey, the following items are available to you for download, cliuck on the following items:

·       A copy of the survey results

·       PatientView’s press release about the survey and its results

Please feel free to share any information about the survey results with your contacts, your members, and the public.

Kind regards,

Alex Wyke, CEO, PatientView
