What is Cancer Improvement?

What is Cancer Improvement?

Cancer Improvement is part of NHS Improvement. Working with and through clinical networks and NHS Organisations across England, NHS Improvement helps to transform, deliver and build sustainable improvements across the entire pathway of care in cancer, diagnostics, heart and stroke services.

Cancer Improvement 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). Cancer Improvement works closely with the national Cancer Programme to support the implementation of the Cancer Reform Strategy.

Cancer Improvement works in a variety of different areas, in a number of workstreams including:

• 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
