Is an experienced health services researcher specialising in qualitative research. She has an MSc in Social Research from the University of Surrey. Her main interest is cancer and she has worked on HEXI - Health Experience Insights cancer studies from 2000 -2018 until she retired. She conducted the secondary analysis and wrote many of the topic summaries for this module, as well as doing some of the interviews for the original cancer studies on which it is based. 

Nada Khan

Nada Khan is a cancer epidemiologist and medical trainee who has worked at the University of Oxford since 2005. As part of her DPhil project she interviewed 40 long-term cancer survivors, and many of those interviews have been included in the secondary analysis for this section. She helped with the secondary analysis and wrote some of the topic summaries.
