The value of patient involvement in research and service improvement – Lynsey Rice, April 2026
Drawing on over 25 years of clinical experience, Lynsey reflects on the critical role that clear, meaningful, and accessible information plays in supporting patients to make informed decisions about their care. Her blog highlights how the impact of radiotherapy extends far beyond treatment itself and why patients need the right information, at the right time, in formats that work for them.
Looking for myself – Helen Pritchard, March 2026
Helen writes candidly about navigating the world of research while drawing on deeply personal knowledge gained through treatment for gynaecological cancer. Her blog explores the realities of radiotherapy, the emotional complexity of treatment and recovery, and the uncertainty that can follow when treatment ends, and is a powerful reminder of the value of patient researchers in shaping meaningful, grounded research bringing insight that cannot be captured in any other way.
Danny shares his insights and thoughts on the GRACE project and why its work is so important, and how standardisation and person-centred care can, with thoughtful design, work hand-in-hand to support tailored, meaningful care.
Lisa’s post title – Lisa Ashmore, January 2026
The piece is adapted from a speech Lisa gave on International Women’s Day 2025 and reflects on the journey that led to the GRACE project. The blog makes a powerful case for why improving consent for gynaecological radiotherapy must go beyond forms and facts, and instead attend to lived experience, inequality, and the realities of life after treatment.
