We've launched our new Cancer Innovation Strategy 2025 - 2028!
In partnership with Health Innovation West of England, our strategy sets out our vision to improve cancer outcomes, earlier diagnosis and more personalised treatment.
The Somerset, Wiltshire, Avon & Gloucestershire Cancer Alliance is the forum to bring providers and commissioners together with patients, to co-design services to optimise pathways, ensure effective integration and address variation, and are the vehicle that leads the activity required at a local level to meet the ambitions set out by the National Cancer Programme Team.
The Cancer Alliance puts clinical leaders across primary, secondary, and tertiary care in the driving seat for improving quality and outcomes across cancer pathways, based on shared data and metrics. Continuing to deliver the strategy and its programmes will require committed leadership, smart choices around investing to save, and a firm intent to try new approaches and test new models of care.
