Our campaigning work is guided and informed by the views and experiences of people living with breast cancer. Alongside our active campaigning work, Breast Cancer Care also reacts to the changing policy environment through responding to consultations by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the Government.
