Saran Green is a Patient and Public Involvement/Engagement (PPIE) Manager in the Translational Oncology and Urology (TOUR) team. She coordinates patient participation and all engagement activities for the team as well as across Guy’s Cancer. She supports numerous research projects and conducts varied PPIE activities at King’s College London and is a part of the King’s Engagement Research Network (KERN).

She is responsible for the management of the PPIE portfolio of the Guy’s Cancer Real World Evidence (RWE) Programme.

She began as the PPI Coordinator for the REIMAGINE Study, where she worked closely with Professor Van Hemelrijck, head of at TOUR and lead for Work Strand 6 of the study. Work strand 6 involves all communication with the public and all the patients in the study, for example, website, newsletters, and events.

She is an advocate for representation in research and is the Coordinator for the PPI Cancer Research Group for Diverse Backgrounds, whose aim is to empower, educate and equip diverse ethnic communities, so they can make informed decisions about their health and engage with research as well as to provide a platform for researchers to access this under-represented population of patients and members of the public.
