As part of the Programme Communications and Stakeholder Engagement Strategy the programme team is keen on keeping the stakeholders in the system well informed on the latest developments. We will do this by sending brief updates systematically to all those involved in delivering the best possible care in cancer services within the Alliance footprint.
The programme this week has:
- Set up 2 additional Cancer Champions training days for February 2018
- Organised a Diagnostics demand and capacity workshop which is scheduled for the 28th February 2018

- Met at the Lung Pathways Action Group on 2nd February 2018.
