Grant received in 2021

DCCC has funded 152.560 DKK to the project.

The Danish Breast Cancer Group (DBCG) wants to fulfil the intentions provided in Kræftplan 4 on more patient involvement. Patient involvement can add valuable aspects to the work of DBCG, and thus all areas, where it is meaningfull, should be identified, and a strategy for implementing involvement should be made. 

With the funding from DCCC, DBCG can arrange a 2-day seminar with members from 5 DBCG Committees, where meeting with patients is part of clinical work: radiology, surgery, systemic therapy, genetics and radiotherapy. At the seminar one will first explore where patient involvement is happening and learn from the experiences with it. The committees will present their strategy and identify the areas, where involvement is relevant (e.g. writing guidelines, shared decision making, planning of trials). At the seminar, a plan will be developed for how patient involvement is going to be implemented, what are the goals and how the achievements are documented.
