Developing Effective Cancer Survivorship Services is organized by Healthcare Conferences UK and would be held on Jun 14, 2016 at Hallam Conference Centre, London, England, United Kingdom.
Living with and Beyond Cancer is one of the key strategic priorities for the National Cancer Taskforce. The National Cancer Taskforce have recently announced their intention to “Transform our approach to support people living with and beyond cancer: We recommend accelerating the roll-out of stratified follow up pathways and the “Recovery Package”. The aim should be that by 2020 every person with cancer will have access to elements of the Recovery Package, and stratified pathways of follow-up care will be in place for the common cancers. A national quality of life measure should be developed by 2017 to ensure that we monitor and learn lessons to support people better in living well after treatment has ended.” ACHIEVING WORLD-CLASS CANCER OUTCOMES A STRATEGY FOR ENGLAND 2015-2020, The National Cancer Taskforce 2015.
