That’s why we've signed the Health Research Authority's Shared Commitment to Public Involvement in Health and Care Research. Because for us, public involvement isn’t an optional extra. #SharedCommitment #PublicInvolvement 4/5

Together, they bring a lived perspective researchers can’t get anywhere else, because research is better when it’s done with people affected by blood cancer, not to them. 3/5

People with blood cancer can be more vulnerable to infections. Knowing the signs of infection and sepsis, and when to seek medical advice, is important. If you have symptoms of an infection, don’t worry about making a fuss. Make the call and get medical advice.

Myeloma is one of the hardest blood cancers to treat. That's why Dr Nick Crump is working to change that. Dr Crump's research is helping us better understand myeloma and could contribute to the development of more effective treatments in the future.
