Hive Cancer Support have partnered with pRxEngage to help make clinical trial opportunities easier to find and easier to understand for people affected by cancer.



There is a vast amount of research taking place around the world, but many people never see what may be available to them.

This hub, provided by pRxEngage, allows you to explore trials by condition and location and access clearer, plain language trial information to support decision making.

It provides structured, plain language guidance so individuals can understand what a study involves, what participation may look like, and what questions to ask.

The aim is to help people decide whether a trial feels right for them personally, based on their needs and circumstances.

In doing so, pRxEngage supports informed choice and patient agency, bringing a more human lens to a process that can often feel technical and overwhelming.

Maureen Collins, Project Manager at Hive Cancer Support said: “Cancer doesn’t discriminate and it has always been a cornerstone of our work to challenge and redress inequalities in cancer prevention, diagnosis and treatment experienced by people in marginalised and under resourced communities .

“We know first hand from our members who have taken part in clinical trials what a life line they can be, but we also know how challenging and stressful it can be trying to find one that’s the right fit.

“By hosting the pRxEngage clinical trial hub on our website, we’re helping to make reliable clinical trial information more accessible for people living with cancer and their families.”

Breast Cancer UK ‘Breast Cancer Prevention Conference 2023’

We were in London recently for the Breast Cancer UK ‘Breast Cancer Prevention Conference’.

Day One focussed on the impact of environmental chemicals – something we educate about and lobby on.

And Day Two looked at how lifestyle choices, good diet and nutrition, alcohol reduction and exercise can reduce the risk of a Breast Cancer diagnosis.

It was great to network with other charities working in the same field and hear talks from world-renowned experts.

During our trip we also visited the Women’s Environmental Network’s offices to learn about its work helping women and communities take action for the environment.
