Chris Carrigan- Patient advocate from UseMyData

Chris’ professional background includes many senior leadership positions in the cancer data field including DATA-CAN, the National Cancer Intelligence Network (part of the UK Health Security Agency), the Cancer Registration in England & chair of IGARD who review research applications for sensitive patient data.
Seeing his family experience of cancer diagnosis and treatment through his professional lens, Chris believes his wife’s fast diagnosis and treatment for Breast cancer was made possible using data for research and desperately wishes his brother had a better experience. Following a very late stage diagnosis for lymphoma and delays in treatment he sadly died in 2008. This has given Chris a passion to change things for the better and now retired, Chris volunteers with the independent UK charity use MY data, a movement of patients, relatives and carers.
