Cancer Services

Cancer Services supports the achievement of the Cancer Waiting Time Targets.  This ensures that the best service is delivered to the patient by daily tracking all cancer patients referred to the Trust, as well as making sure that targets are met with regard to the delivery of patient care within set timescales while also reporting them in a timely manner.

The team also provides support to identify where improvements can be made, facilitating that change within appropriate clinical areas.  Cancer Services works closely with clinicians, administrative staff and managers within the Trust, including the Clinical Divisions (Surgical, Medicine, Women & Children and Diagnostic Therapy Services) Finance, Information Management & Technology, Human Resources and Estates.

In conjunction with the Executive team the department is closely involved in ensuring that the Trust's corporate objectives are met.
