We have worked with Surrey and Sussex Cancer Alliance to create this resource pack for patients in collaboration with a number of partners and patient representatives and would like to thank them for providing information and insight. We would particularly like to thank the Surrey and Sussex Cancer Alliance Patient and Public Engagement Panel for their contribution. We hope that you find it useful.
