What is Cancer Improvement?
The Cancer Improvement team works with and through clinical networks and NHS Organisations across England to transform, deliver and build sustainable improvements across the entire pathway of cancer care.
Cancer Improvement works closely with the national Cancer Programme and supports local organisations and clinical teams to look at the services they offer to patients. Working together, the aim is to make significant improvements by streamlining and redesigning the way that cancer care is delivered to patients to improve the patient experience and support the delivery of the Cancer Reform Strategy (2007).
Workstreams include:
- Prevention across specialty
- Ensuring better treatment - going further on cancer waits
- Living with and beyond cancer - specific focus on children and teenagers
- Living with and beyond cancer - survivorship (not children and young adults)
- Reducing inequalities
- Delivering care in the most appropriate way - Transforming Inpatient Care Programme
