  The types of studies  / subject area

  • Health Service Research (access & use of services / experience of care & treatment)
  • Health Promotion / Education / Interventio

The term grey literature is broadly defined in this project and our aim is to include all forms of informational materials, which have been produced as part of a general communication process, not for formal publication in peer-reviewed journals.

Collected materials will eventually be made available via a web based portal at the National Cancer Action Team's Patient Experience website (http://www.cancerinfo.nhs.uk/) to provide healthcare professionals the tool to access and share information which have been undertaken to understand and or improve services for Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) cancer patients.  

For more information about the project or to send relevant literature or other materials you would like us to consider including the database, please contact:
