SUMMARY:Cancer Care Closer to Home: Selecting the Right Model
DESCRIPTION:The demand for Systemic Anti-Cancer Therapy (SACT) continues to grow\, while the NHS 10-Year Health Plan is accelerating the shift towards delivering care “as locally as it can”. As healthcare systems explore opportunities to deliver cancer care closer to home\, understanding how to evaluate and select the most appropriate decentralised SACT delivery model is crucial. \nThis webinar is the first in a two-part series designed for stakeholders involved in the planning\, commissioning\, delivery\, governance and optimisation of cancer services across NHS Trusts\, ICBs\, Cancer Alliances and Strategic Commissioners. \nDrawing on insights from Roche UK’s ‘Cancer Care Closer to Home: A Roadmap for Transforming SACT Delivery’ report\, expert guest speakers will share practical insights\, explore the opportunities and considerations associated with decentralised SACT delivery\, and provide practical guidance to support service transformation\, planning and decision-making. \nDate and Time: Wednesday 18th November 2026\, 18:00-19:00 \nFormat: Online \nCost: Free \nLink to Register

SUMMARY:Ruth Strauss: No Conversation Too Tough - Southampton
