Our work
Learn about the various programmes led by the Cancer Alliance to transform the diagnosis, treatment and care for cancer patients in Humber and North Yorkshire.
NHS targeted lung health checks
Lung Health Checks can reassure you that your lungs are healthy or help find problems early when treatment could be simpler and more successful.
Cancer Champions
The Cancer Champions programme aims to equip people with the knowledge and confidence to have conversations about cancer with family members, friends, and colleagues.
Awareness and early diagnosis
Humber and North Yorkshire Cancer Alliance seeks to improve cancer survival rates by ensuring more people are diagnosed at an earlier stage, and by improving cancer awareness and uptake of screening.
Cancer diagnostics and innovation
We are working to understand where the gaps in diagnostics capacity are and work with partners across the Cancer Alliance to develop strategic plans for radiology, pathology and endoscopy services.
Treatment, pathways, and personalised care
The treatment, pathways and personalised care programme works with partners to ensure the healthcare system has enough capacity to deliver equitable cancer services for all people in our region.
Nursing and allied health professionals workforce
The nursing and allied health professional workforces are the backbone of cancer care provision. The Cancer Alliance is committed to supporting, developing and ensuring a sustainable workforce.
Non-surgical oncology
Non-surgical oncology is the name given to services that provide treatment for cancer without surgery - mainly radiotherapy and systemic anti-cancer treatment, formerly referred to as chemotherapy.
Health inequalities
Health inequalities are avoidable and unfair differences in health between different groups of people, the differences in healthcare they receive, and opportunities they have to lead healthy lives.
Communications and engagement
The communications and engagement programme is responsible for raising the Cancer Alliance’s profile and enhancing its reputation. It therefore links the Cancer Alliance with a number of stakeholders.
