Invisible spectrum: a model for minority community public engagement in cancer research
There is a significant need to continually promote patient involvement and minority inclusion in healthcare and research initiatives. In line with this goal and after 4 successful years of running the Invisible Spectrum programme, we have developed a set of recommendations and guidelines for the successful development and organisation of minority community engagement initiatives. It is our hope that the Invisible Spectrum programme could be used as a model for future endeavours of a similar nature.
