Primary and community care

Supporting primary care in cancer diagnosis and care

Thames Valley Cancer Alliance works with NHS organisations and partners across Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire to strengthen cancer pathways, improve patient outcomes and reduce inequalities.

Our work supports the ambitions of the 10 Year Health Plan for England and the National Cancer Plan for England, with a focus on earlier diagnosis, prevention and delivering more care closer to home.

This section provides primary and community care colleagues with practical resources, guidance, training opportunities and information to support high-quality cancer care.
