Teenage Cancer Trust

The Teenage Cancer Trust aims to ensure that every young person with cancer and their family receive the best possible care and professional support throughout their cancer journey.

We fund and build specialist units for young people in NHS hospitals. Our units bring teenagers with cancer together with loads of new friends of their own age so they can support each other. Alongside all of this is a medical team of teenage cancer specialists who pool knowledge to create a body of expertise that's second to none. They're backed up by our Nurse Consultants who provide clinical care, develop research, deliver professional education and ensure that standards remain as high as possible.

PatientsLikeMe

PatientsLikeMe was co-founded in 2004 by three MIT engineers. Today, PatientsLikeMe is a for-profit company, but not one with a "just for profit" mission. We follow four core values: putting patients first, promoting transparency ("no surprises"), fostering openness and creating "wow." We're guided by these values as we continually enhance our platform, where patients can share and learn from real-world, outcome-based health data. We've also centered our business around these values by aligning patient and industry interests through data-sharing partnerships. We work with trusted nonprofit, research and industry Partners who use this health data to improve products, services and care for patients.
