Hilary Stobart

Hilary became involved as a patient in cancer research in 2010 after her own treatment for breast cancer, after realising how much research had benefited her. Since then she has contributed to a number of studies putting across the patient viewpoint, some of which are now changing practice for patients diagnosed today. She is currently a lay member of the NCRI Breast Cancer Clinical Studies Group. She trained as a volunteer and spent several years talking to clinic patients in Nottingham about the benefits and risks of using tissue for research and also now sit on the Access Committee for the Breast Cancer Now Tissue Bank.
