Onkorodzice.co.uk. Collaboration between technology company, patient organisation and doctors

Portal Onkorodzice.co.uk, whose custodian is the Iskierka Foundation, was launched on 15 February 2021, the International Children's Cancer Day. It was created on the initiative of the medical community, the Iskierka Foundation and technology companies 3Soft and Netology. The Polish Society for Paediatric Oncology and Haematology is the content patron.

- The functioning of the portal is a joint success of all its contributors. The history of the creation of Onkorodzice.co.uk is very interesting. Before we launched our portal, the main source of information for parents of children with oncology was "Dr Google" - Jolanta Czernicka-Siwecka, founder and president of the Iskierka Foundation, admits in an interview with the Health Market.

- We know that there is a lot of information circulating on the internet, but it often has little to do with the truth and medical knowledge. That's why, as a group of parents, we started to think about what we could do to better, more effectively educate those interested in paediatric oncology, to answer even the most difficult questions from parents," says the president of the Iskierka Foundation.
