The CanCertainty Coalition is the united voice of more than 30 Canadian patient groups, cancer health charities, and caregiver organizations from across the country, joining together with oncologists and cancer care professionals to significantly improve the affordability and accessibility of cancer treatment. We are committed to ensuring all Canadians have CanCertainty – certainty that if cancer strikes them or their loved ones they will have fair and equal access to cancer treatment – no matter their age, cancer type, treatment type or where they live.

In partnership with CanCertainty, Rethink Breast Cancer has recently launched a petition to advocate for Ontario cancer patients to have equal access to take-home cancer treatment drugs.

CADTH is seeking to engage people with personal or professional experience with treatment of glioblastoma in Canada. Specifically, CADTH is interested to engaging with health care professionals (e.g., oncology specialists, oncology nurses, social workers, pharmacists, administrators, leadership) and people with experience (e.g., patients, family members, caregivers) with the treatment and management of glioblastoma. In this instance, CADTH is seeking people with the ability to:

• contribute to the diversity of perspectives through awareness of others’ experiences and views within the patient or professional community (for example, experience with a professional or patient association, or as a volunteer, staff member, or board member)
• act with integrity, independent of specific interests
• work constructively as a member of a diverse team

 
There are a limited number of engagement opportunities available to support this work, including as an expert consultant, peer reviewer, or committee member. The time commitment will vary depending on the role, with engagement activities expected to occur between August 2023 and January 2024. An honorarium will be provided to those selected for the project.

If selected for this project, we will communicate with you primarily by email. Meetings are held in English through Zoom or Teams, link or by toll-free telephone.
