Full description:
People who have cirrhosis of the liver are at higher risk of developing liver cancer. I would like to assemble a group with lived experience of chronic liver disease, or cirrhosis or liver cancer or liver cancer surveillance. This can be direct experience as a patient or indirect experience (e.g. caring for someone with these issues). By drawing on your knowledge, I would like to explore how data science research could help improve early liver cancer detection.
Opportunity Deadline
30th July 2025
Payment:
I anticipate four separate discussion sessions, each approximately 1hour long. Payment will be £25 per hour (thus, £100 in total). Additional payment for pre-reading will be provided at £12.50-£25.00 where required.
Expenses:
The meetings will be on-line (via MS teams or Zoom) so no expenses should be incurred
