This National Virtual Conference takes a practical approach to improving practice and outcomes for those living with and beyond cancer, moving from surviving to thriving. Through national updates and practical case studies the conference aims to support you to deliver on the above priorities outlined by NHS England and develop effective personalised support and services. The conference will also explore how we meet the unmet needs of people living with and beyond cancer, accelerating the roll-out of stratified follow up pathways and the commissioning of holistic packages of support, and ensuring every person with cancer will have access to relevant elements of a personalised care approach. This conference is particularly timely following the release of the results of the first Cancer Quality of Life Survey.
“More people than ever are living with and beyond cancer. The NHS is leading the way in cancer care by recognising that living a good quality of life is as important to people as survival.”
“We estimate there are 3 million people living with cancer in the UK. We predict this number will rise to nearly 3.5 million by 2025, 4 million by 2030, and 5.3 million by 2040.”
“COVID-19 has undoubtedly put a huge strain on people affected by cancer and has had an extraordinary impact on their care and wellbeing.”
