UCLH Cancer Collaborative brings together healthcare organisations across north central and north east London, and west Essex to improve early cancer diagnosis, outcomes and care for patients. Working with our stakeholders, our mission is to achieve world-leading patient outcomes and experience for our local population. For more information about our work please contact CancerVanguard@uclh.nhs.uk

There are six 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
• New models of care – developing new ways of providing radiotherapy and delivering chemotherapy
• Cancer Academy – an innovative approach to education and training for both patients and staff

We’re 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. We are working to change the way cancer care is provided through NHS England’s new care models programme.
