UCLH Cancer Collaborative is the Cancer Alliance for north and east London and brings together hospital trusts, GPs, health service commissioners, local authorities and patients to improve early cancer diagnosis, outcomes and care for patients in our area. Working with our stakeholders, our mission is to achieve world-leading patient outcomes and experience for our local population. View a map of the area and NHS organisations we cover. For more information about our work please contact uclh.cancercollaborative@nhs.net

There are five pillars to the UCLH Cancer Collaborative:

• Earlier diagnosis – a leading national programme developing new ways of diagnosing cancer earlier
• London Cancer - working with local health professionals and patients to improve quality
• Centre for Cancer Outcomes – compiling and publishing data on cancer outcomes
• Macmillan Integrated Cancer Programme – central to our work on living with and beyond cancer and service improvements in primary care
• Cancer Academy – an innovative approach to education and training for both patients and staff (including GPs).

We have also relaunched the 'small c' website - www.smallc.org.uk – to help residents of north and east London learn more about the signs and symptoms of the most common cancers and turn the Big C into a ‘small c’.

We have various opportunities for people who have had cancer treatment, or cared for someone who has had cancer treatment in our area to get involved in our work. Watch our short video below to find out more or visit our Get Involved with Cancer webpage.

Until March 2018, we were part of the national Cancer Vanguard – a partnership between UCLH Cancer Collaborative, Greater Manchester Cancer Vanguard Innovation and RM Partners, collectively serving a population of nearly 11 million.
