The NCA's Programme of Work
The NCA harnesses and uses the collective knowledge and experience of
cancer patients and health professionals to influence and inform the
development and improvement of cancer services in the UK to achieve our
vision of equality and high standards of care.
The NCA identifies, defines and raises awareness of key issues
in cancer services, engaging with partners and decision-makers to
influence change. The NCA works with key partners in the pursuit
of our programme objectives, including within the voluntary
sector, the media, NHS organisations, government, industry and academia.
These objectives fall under four key themes critical to the development
of UK cancer services:
- Cancer Resources: the right amount, spent
wisely
- National Standards of Care: consistent,
high quality and accessible to all
- Patient experience: communication,
information and support and choice
- User Involvement: patients
and carers involved in getting things changed
We aim to achieve our objective through a range of
core activities and specific projects. For more information on our Teamwork
Project and our published
reports, including
how you can support these activities, please contact
