We are inviting GP practices across Kent and Medway to support the INDIGO research project. The INDIGO Cancer Care Survey gathers feedback from people living with and beyond cancer to understand their ongoing needs and experiences. Insights from this study will help shape better follow-up care, support services, and treatment pathways.

Getting involved is quick and easy: simply run a pre-built EMIS search and send a text message to eligible patients.

For more information or to take part, please contact kmicb.research@nhs.net and the team will provide everything you need.

Thank you for helping us improve cancer care together.
