We Are Looking for People Affected by Lung Cancer to Join Our New Advisory Board
Lung Cancer Europe is creating a Patient Advisory Board and we are inviting expressions of interest from people affected by lung cancer across Europe.
The aim of the board is to bring lived experience into our work in a practical way, helping us develop clearer resources, stronger projects, and more relevant support across Europe.
What is the Advisory Board?
The Advisory Board would bring together people with direct experience of lung cancer, whether as someone living with the disease, a family member, carer, or bereaved relative.
Members would be invited to give feedback on materials, share insight on support needs, and help make sure our work reflects the realities of people affected by lung cancer.
What would members do?
As a member of the Advisory Board, you may be asked to:
review draft materials and share feedback on clarity, tone, and relevance
highlight gaps or unmet needs in support for people affected by lung cancer
contribute to improving resources, guides, campaigns, and other materials
share ideas based on lived experience
take part in virtual meetings and occasional review work by email
Who can apply?
We welcome expressions of interest from:
people living with lung cancer, at any stage or subtype
family members, carers, or bereaved relatives
people from across Europe
people connected to a Lung Cancer Europe member organisation, although this is not essential
What experience do I need?
You do not need formal qualifications.
We are looking for people who have lived experience of lung cancer, are interested in improving support and information, and feel comfortable sharing their views in a constructive and respectful way.
Experience in advocacy or reviewing health information may be helpful, but it is not required.
Time commitment
We expect this role to involve around two to four hours per month. This would include occasional virtual meetings, likely on a quarterly basis, and ad hoc opportunities to review materials by email.
What support would be provided?
Members would receive:
induction and onboarding
clear guidance for review activities
support from the Lung Cancer Europe team
reimbursement in line with Lung Cancer Europe policies, where applicable
Key principles
Members of the Advisory Board would be expected to:
respect confidentiality where needed
declare any conflicts of interest
contribute in a constructive and collaborative way
reflect a wider range of experiences, not only their own
