This seminar brought together policymakers and stakeholders to discuss the next steps for cancer care in England - looking at funding and access, workforce targets and progress on service redesign and early diagnosis.
Delegates discussed the findings from the 16 regional Cancer Alliances and their impact so far on the redesign of local cancer services, as well as the further steps that can be taken to ensure earlier and faster diagnosis, and the progress of the 28-day standard pilots.
Attendees also assessed the challenges for meeting workforce targets, following the publication of Health Education England’s Cancer Workforce Plan.
Further sessions discussed the new Cancer Drugs Fund (CDF), which was expected to release at least £140 million into the NHS over the next five years - as well as priorities for improving patient care and access to cancer medicines.
