Our key partners for the East of England Cancer Alliance can be found below, with links through to their sites.
These partners include our three newly formed integrated care boards.
NHS Essex Integrated Care Board
At NHS Essex, we plan and improve local health services so people can live healthier lives and get the right care when they need it. Our mission is making services better in Essex. We work with partners to join up care, improve quality and reduce health inequalities, with a strong focus on prevention and providing more care closer to home.
Our role as an Integrated Care Board is to bring health and care services together, improve the health and wellbeing of our population, and ensure equitable access to services and outcomes for everyone.
Central East Integrated Care Board
The Central East Integrated Care Board (ICB) is a new, merged health body launching in April 2026, covering Cambridgeshire & Peterborough, Bedfordshire, Luton & Milton Keynes, and Hertfordshire.
The NHS and local government officers have come together to develop plans to ensure that health and social care in Central East in the East of England is sustainable for the future.
Norfolk and Suffolk Integrated Care Board
NHS Norfolk and Suffolk Integrated Care Board (ICB) plans and funds health and care services for people across Norfolk and Suffolk.
Norfolk and Suffolk are home to around 1.7 million people.
The ICB area includes: Large rural and coastal communities, an older-than-average population, areas facing significant deprivation.
Around half of residents live in rural or coastal areas, where access to services can be more challenging. Approximately 219,000 people live in the 20% most deprived communities nationally. In these areas, early deaths are around 70% higher than in the least deprived areas. These differences shape how we plan services and highlight why reducing inequality is central to our work.
