The National Cancer Plan for England: delivering world class care

Launching in early February, the National Cancer Plan will set out a bold, evidence-led vision to transform cancer outcomes in England.

While more people survive cancer than ever before, progress has slowed over the last decade and England remains behind other comparable countries. This plan will change that.  

As part of building an NHS Fit for the Future, the plan puts patients at its heart, responding directly to what matters most: faster answers, innovative care and better support to live well with cancer.

Key takeaways

1. A first look at what’s changing: The key commitments in the National Cancer Plan and how they will improve cancer outcomes for patients.
2. What it means in practice: How national priorities will translate into practical solutions for patients, services and communities.
3. Confidence to move forward: Advice and guidance on your questions, directly from those shaping delivery of the plan.
