Survival is more than three times higher when cancer is diagnosed early. The programme is a major part of Cancer Research UK’s ambition to ensure three out of four people have their cancer diagnosed at an early stage.
We support healthcare organisations and professionals to:
Provide advice that will help prevent cancer
Understand their local cancer data and how the care they provide compares to others
Encourage people to take part in screening programmes
Recognise the signs of cancer, and refer people appropriately for tests
Diagnose people quickly, by having clear ways of accessing tests and enough staff and scanners to deliver results quickly
Assisting with the implementation of Risk Assessment Tools and new NICE guidelines
Providing templates for audits and assistance with completion and interpretation
Working with the CCG to identify local priorities
Organising training for clinical and non-clinical staff
Safety Netting Training
Our regionally- based facilitators provide face-to-face practical support to health professionals and services across the UK.
