Cancer alliances

In 2015, an independent cancer task force strategy set out an ambitious vision for improving services, care and outcomes for everyone with cancer.

Fewer people getting cancer, more people surviving cancer, more people having a good experience of their treatment and care, whoever they are and wherever they live, and more people being supported.

The NHS Long Term Plan, published in January 2019, also made a huge commitment to improving cancer care, diagnosis and survival rates by 2028.

Cancer alliances were set up across England to drive the change needed to achieve these aims.
