The #NationalCancerPlan marks a turning point for #cancer.
This #Government is investing £2.3 billion to deliver 9.5 million additional tests by 2029, so that people get diagnosed earlier and lives are saved.
#CCLG26 opened exploring England’s #NationalCancerPlan and how it could transform the cancer journey for children and young people.
An important session for everyone across the NHS to understand the priorities, and opportunities ahead for improving cancer care for young people.
Happy National Cancer Clinical Nurse Specialist Day. We will be running our own celebration event here at the Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust. It is great to see the role of the CNS enshrined within the #NationalCancerPlan #NationalCancerCNSDay @ukons.bsky.social @rcn.org.uk
Really good relaunch event by the APPG on Cancer. Excellent discussions about the #NationalCancerPlan which has the potential to be truly transformative for cancer care. Prevention & early intervention is key & early diagnosis saves lives. Thank you @macmillancancer.bsky.social & everyone involved.
HQIP’s Medical Director, Professor Danny Keenan, shares his reflections on the recent release of the Government's #NationalCancerPlan and the opportunity it presents for improving care and outcomes with collaboration and data.

"The National Cancer Plan’s ambitions are right, its diagnosis is accurate, and its emphasis on prevention is evidence-based. But its ignoring of faith communities threatens its equity goals," ✍️ Raman Bedi

“It’s so important that we have long-term plans to help cancer survivors fit into normal life and achieve the best possible quality of life.” Amy - living with PRD
Surviving cancer isn’t just about a cure, it’s about living well after treatment. Many people struggle with late effects. The National Cancer Plan must recognise #PelvicRadiationDisease and provide support shaped by lived experience.

“I often see patients who were unprepared for new symptoms and the significant impact these have on quality of life.” Dr Jan Bornschein, Consultant Gastroenterologist and PRDA Medical Adviser
Many people aren’t prepared for the lasting effects of pelvic radiotherapy, which can affect daily life. The PRDA is calling for consistent, compassionate, patient-focused care.

The Government has published a #NationalCancerPlan aiming to improve survival rates for cancer patients in England. 💛
What does this mean for the brain tumour community? bit.ly/4kje3yy
Thank you to everyone who has shared their stories & campaigned with us for change.
Oscar was diagnosed with ALL in 2022. Early diagnosis meant he started treatment quickly and is now in remission.
Early diagnosis can save lives - that’s why our #ChildCancerSmart project is recognised as a case study in England’s new #NationalCancerPlan 🎗️

A graphic with an image of Dr Victoria Goss, Associate Professor of Early Diagnosis and Translational Research Southampton Clinical Trials Unit, and the quote: "One of the most important aspects of this National Cancer Plan is shifting the emphasis to how we can provide more screening and early diagnosis tests away from hospitals and take them out into the community, and even into people's homes, to increase accessibility. Making it easier for people to take part in screening programmes is key to improving early cancer detection rates and subsequent cure rates and ensures that everyone is included equally. We are running trials looking at other ways we can encourage people to take up screening opportunities, be this a blood sample taken in your local GP surgery or pharmacy, a nasal swab that can be sent in the post, or a urine collection kit sent to your home."
Catching #cancer early increases the chances of successful treatment and survival for patients.
The #NationalCancerPlan includes a commitment to improve #EarlyDiagnosis and increase access to Community Diagnostic Centres, bringing testing closer to where people live.

A graphic with an image of Professor Gareth Griffiths, Director of the Southampton Clinical Trials Unit, and the quote: "An exemplar case study appearing in the plan is the NHS Cancer Vaccine Launch Pad, which the Cancer Research UK Southampton Clinical Trials Unit is currently running on behalf of NHS England, and which is accelerating patient access to trials of new cancer vaccines and novel immunotherapy treatments. We hope to see more investment in these sorts of programmes which can make a real difference to our cancer patients and provide evidence for new treatments for the NHS."
The Government today set out its #NationalCancerPlan to shape #cancer care and drive #research for the benefit of #patients.
It focuses on areas at the heart of our research, including improving #EarlyDiagnosis and developing better #treatments

We welcome today’s publication of the #NationalCancerPlan for England, and its commitment to improving cancer patients' experience at the end of life. We were pleased the plan recognises the need to better understand where people want to die, and to tackle the fact that many still die in hospital.
#AMMF has welcomed the publication of a new #NationalCancerPlan for England by the UK Government today, on #WorldCancerDay.
