Delivery of the NHS Long Term Plan ambitions for cancer by 2028 will include improving our national screening programmes, giving people faster access to diagnostic tests, investing in innovative treatments and technologies, and making sure more patients can quickly benefit from precise, highly personalised treatments as medical science advances.
Once a cancer diagnosis is made, for many the physical treatments to manage the cancer are only a very small part of the impact of cancer. The impact for them, and their families, in health and wellbeing are far-reaching and long term. Cancer is now considered a long-term condition, and many patients have other co-morbid conditions, therefore it is essential to provide personalised care to all. This supports people to self-manage which can increase the quality of life and provide system-wide benefits.
