We want cancer patients, healthcare staff and the public in Humber and North Yorkshire to tell us what matters most so we can build cancer services that meet local needs over the next decade.
The National Cancer Plan was published on February 4 (World Cancer Day), following the publication of the 10-year health plan for England in July last year, which sets out fundamental reform of the NHS through transformational change to ensure its sustainability in the future.
The 10-year health plan focuses on three major shifts to transform the NHS: moving care from hospital to community, from analogue to digital, and from sickness to prevention - aiming to provide more local, tech-enabled, and proactive care, making health services more accessible and efficient for the future.
The national cancer plan is part of this programme of reform, aiming to reduce lives lost to cancer, and to deliver improved care and patient experience through the three shifts.
In support Humber and North Yorkshire Cancer Alliance and partners are working to develop a 10-year plan for cancer in Humber and North Yorkshire, one that supports the ambitions of the national cancer plan yet provides a tailored approach to reflect our region's diverse geography and communities.
Humber and North Yorkshire Cancer Alliance is seeking your views and ideas to inform the development of the 10-year Humber and North Yorkshire plan for cancer in order to improve outcomes for people diagnosed with cancer in our region.
We want to hear from:
This survey seeks views on the main themes and ambitions of the NHS National Cancer Plan for England and how they can be implemented locally across Humber and North Yorkshire.
It also invites feedback on what matters most to people from our region in relation to cancer prevention, diagnosis, treatment and care.
The views and experiences shared through the survey by cancer services staff, patients, carers, and members of the public will play a vital role in shaping the 10-year plan for cancer in Humber and North Yorkshire .
By listening to the perspectives of those who deliver, receive, and support cancer care, we can identify what is working well and where improvements are needed.
The feedback will help Humber and North Yorkshire Cancer Alliance and partners to better understand local priorities, highlight gaps in services, and ensure that future plans reflect the real needs of our communities.
All responses will be carefully reviewed and used to guide decisions on how cancer services are transformed across the region over the next decade.
The survey should take no more than 10 minutes to complete. Responses will be anonymised.
