Testing pathways of care for those living with and beyond cancer
NHS Improvement is looking for teams to prototype stratified pathways and packages of care for prostate, colorectal and breast cancer patients following initial treatment for cancer. The aim is to test the transferability of stratified pathways and the accompanying packages of care that have been piloted in a number of pilot test sites. This work is a key step prior to national roll out. This testing work is supporting the National Cancer Survivorship initiative (NCSI); a partnership between the Department of Health, NHS Improvement and Macmillan Cancer Support.
National Cancer Survivorship Initiative: Teenage and Adult Aftercare Pathway
The children and young people cancer survivorship aftercare pathways have now been launched. The pathways have been produced and endorsed as clinical good practice following an extensive consultation process with input from clinical experts and cancers survivors.

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 Outcomes Strategy (2011).
