Updating our hair loss health information booklet

What’s the project about?

We’re updating our health information resources related to breast cancer and hair loss. 

We want to make sure that the information in the booklet is relevant and beneficial for people experiencing hair loss. So, we want to hear about your experience to help us understand what’s important and helpful for you. 

Who’s organising it?

Name of project lead: Rachel Baxter

Job title: Health Content Editor

Organisation: Breast Cancer Now

Email address: rachel.baxter@breastcancernow.org

Who can take part?

You can take part if you’ve had a personal diagnosis of breast cancer and have been affected by hair loss or hair thinning as a result of your treatment.

Why do you want me to be involved? 

By sharing your experience, you’ll help us understand what matters to people experiencing hair loss. And we’ll be able to include real-life experiences and tips from other people affected by breast cancer, which will make our information useful and relatable. 

What will you ask me to do?

We’d like you to complete an online survey about your experience of hair loss or thinning. The survey will cover what information you had or would have liked beforehand, and what advice or tips you’d give someone else.

The survey should take 10 to 20 minutes to complete and is anonymous, unless you choose to give us your name. 

We’ll use your contribution to help shape the booklet. We may use quotes, with your permission, to help the booklet feel more personal and to add to the information we give. 

How do I get involved?

Please complete the survey. If you have any questions, you can email Rachel at rachel.baxter@bresatcancernow.org. 

When’s the deadline?
