2016 will mark the 20th anniversary of ICORG’s formation. There are a range of public engagement activities on the agenda but in order to co-ordinate them ICORG will need an in-house communications function.
Activities will include;
Short documentary-style videos on patient experience, innovative research activities and new studies for website, social media and presentations
Revamp of the ICORG website and incorporate a public-facing image with accessible information on current studies and peer to peer information on participating in clinical trials
Media interviews with key ICORG PI’s and staff to a lay audience on current studies and outcomes of past studies.
Organisation of an international conference in Dublin on expert cancer patients’ involvement in clinical research. Leading patient advocates in the field to be invited eg. Jan Geissler, Director of EUPATI and Eric Low, CEO of Myeloma UK.
