‘Communities are not hard to reach. They are simply not reached effectively’

The Thames Valley Cancer Alliance is committed to reducing inequalities in cancer prevention, diagnosis, treatment and care across our diverse communities.

We work alongside local organisations, healthcare partners and community leaders to improve access to cancer information, screening and support for underserved populations across the Thames Valley.

Our Health Inequalities Strategy 2025-2030 sets out how we will:

  • improve early diagnosis
  • increase screening uptake
  • reduce barriers to care
  • work collaboratively with communities
  • ensure more equitable cancer outcomes for all

Reducing cancer health inequalities means focusing on the people most likely to face barriers to screening, diagnosis, treatment and support.
