Cancer Strategy 2010-2014
Aims:
Cancer Strategy proposals will mean more local services
NHS Worcestershire’s radical new draft Cancer Strategy could mean lots more cancer services are delivered locally within the county.
The document includes proposals to develop an extended cancer unit in Worcestershire in partnership with Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust. Services that could be delivered safely locally would then be provided from that centre, with more complex procedures being provided by an out of county partner.
Worcestershire patients requiring treatment for cancer currently travel to
Wolverhampton, Coventry or Cheltenham depending on where they live in the county. The proposals in the new draft Strategy would see much of this treatment centralised and fewer people having to travel long distances.
NHS Worcestershire would like to encourage all interested members of the public, patients, careers and stakeholders to comment on the strategy.
