Our strategic ambition is to deliver the best possible outcomes for every patient affected by cancer by working as a clinically-led patient driven team focused on maximising resources to deliver optimal care and outcomes.
Thames Valley has a population of 2.3 million people with some areas of significant health inequalities. These health inequalities are preventable, and are an unfair and unjust difference in health status and we are committed to working to address this.
Working closely with Public Health England we will better understand exactly where the greatest inequalities exist and then partner with local communities through programmes such as the Cancer Allies Programme to firstly increase awareness of the signs and symptoms of cancer and then encourage people with any worrying signs to attend their GP as a priority.
