The East of England Regional Cancer Network Groups and Operational Delivery Groups bring together a regional collaboration of cancer clinicians. The groups include those involved in the planning and delivery of cancer services across the footprint of the Cancer Alliance at speciality level, to ensure collective clinical leadership and to provide evidence-based direction and transformational change in the delivery of cancer services.
The function of our Network Groups is to ensure coordination of the cancer pathway, consistency of clinical practice and to achieve the best possible outcomes and experience for patients, irrespective of where their treatment and care is provided and includes:
- Standardisation of care and outcomes – addressing health inequalities.
- Supporting the delivery of the National Transformation Programmes.
- Service monitoring, including clinical performance and clinical outcomes.
- Workforce development and supporting new ways of working.
- Horizon scanning - identification and adoption of innovation, research and development.
- Collate, analyse, and present highly complex and sometimes sensitive and contentious information to stakeholders.
- Respond to clinical concerns raised within the Cancer Alliance framework.
- Attendance at Regional and National meetings in representation of the Cancer Alliance.
Overarchingly; create a positive environment that enable active stakeholder engagement, collaboration, co-production, and participation in the development of improvements to ensure the delivery/implementation of agreed outcomes within agreed timescales.
