🌟 Driving Change in Cancer Care 🌟 A few days ago, the North Central London Cancer Alliance hosted the first ever North Central London Cancer Conference. Over 200 colleagues came together - from hospitals, primary care, the voluntary sector, commercial partners, charities, academia and more - to talk about how we're doing in the fight against cancer. Our CEO Frances O'Callaghan gave an introduction to the context of cancer across Barnet, Camden, Enfield, Islington and Haringey. We took the opportunity to acknowledge some great progress (for example our survival rates in certain forms of cancer are the best in the country). As Frances sets out, though, there's more we need to do - particularly around reducing waiting times, patient experience, and reducing inequalities. Her talk 📽️ is well worth watching - check it out below... 👀 👂 And, a big thank you to other speakers on the day including Ali Malik, Prof Derralynn Hughes, Prof Geoff Bellingan, Dr Clare Stephens, Caroline Clarke , Pete Landstrom, Jodie Moffat, Neal Navani, Amanda Pritchard (and a whole host of others leading breakout sessions…!) https://lnkd.in/eNFxfbn3

We were delighted to be at Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust’s Community Services Open Day, an inspiring showcase of the vital work that supports patients beyond hospitals. 🌟 It highlighted the dedication of clinicians and frontline workers who deliver essential care directly in the community—making a real difference in the lives of patients. Engaging with those at the heart of these services underscored the importance of working together to enhance patient outcomes, and was a valuable reminder about how we can support patients to get the best possible care, in the best possible place for them, as an individual. Partnership working is key to delivering effective community care, so it was great to acknowledge and talk about the role of others and their teams too, such as North London NHS Foundation Trust, Whittington Health, North Middlesex University Hospital NHS Trust and Camden Council to name but a few. We're going to be talking a lot more about how community services can underpin part of delivering joined-up, patient-centred care across our patch, and keep your 👀 out for some videos and insight from today... Thank you to everyone involved! 👏 #IntegratedCare #CommunityServices #PartnershipWorking #NHS #PatientCare

🌟 Reflecting on an Inspiring Cancer Conference 🌟 On Tuesday, the North Central London Cancer Alliance hosted the first ever North Central London Cancer Conference at the Emirates Stadium. It was a packed day – with over 200 colleagues joining – from hospitals, primary care, the voluntary sector, commercial partners, charities, academia and more. The day was filled with engaging discussions, thought-provoking breakout sessions, working towards our shared commitment to improving cancer outcomes. We took the opportunity to acknowledge some great progress, but also talk about what more we need to do. For example, in lung cancer we have almost doubled our 1-year survival rate – nearly 6 in 10 patients (58%) survive the first year after diagnosis – nearly 10% higher than the England average – and up from 3 in 10 in 2005. Over a quarter (27%) of patients are now living for more than five years after diagnosis – compared to just 10% in 2005. But… as we heard from speakers including Ali Malik, Frances O'Callaghan, Prof. Derralynn Hughes, Prof Geoffrey Bellingan, Dr Clare Stephens, Caroline Clarke, Pete Landstrom, Jodie Moffat, Neal Navani (and a whole host of others leading breakout sessions…!) …there is still more we can and need to do. Particular focuses need to be to reduce inequalities, improve patients’ feedback on their care, and improve our performance on cancer waiting times. We also were delighted to welcome Amanda Pritchard, CEO of NHS England, who took the time to acknowledge our progress, and highlight what an opportunity there is to go even further. A big thank you to everyone who contributed to making this event such a success — from our inspiring speakers and session facilitators to all the attendees who shared their insights and ideas. The events team did a phenomenal job organising the day and ensuring everything ran seamlessly. 🎥 Watch the video below for a recap of this fantastic event and reaction from speakers above as well as David Probert of UCLH. #NCLCancerConference

📢 Change NHS is our opportunity to make sure the voice of North Central London is heard. 📢 The government is starting a national conversation on the NHS and wants to hear people's view to help shape the 10 Year Health Plan. We want to use Change NHS as an opportunity to improve people's health and care experiences and outcomes and create fairer access across #Barnet, #Camden, #Enfield, #Haringey and #Islington.  We are all working hard across our five boroughs, to provide better, more joined up health and care as a system, with the many brilliant and committed staff across the NHS, local councils and our brilliant voluntary and community partners each playing a unique role. But we know there are challenges, and not everyone gets the quality of care and health they deserve. The Change NHS conversation is a chance for everyone to share their experiences and views for the improvements needed in the NHS and across all health and care services. Don’t miss the opportunity to give the government your ideas. Deadlines - Have your say an organisation and submit an organisational response by the 2nd December. - You can also submit an individual response - the deadline for this is Spring 2025.  Click below. Make sure your voice is heard.  👇 https://lnkd.in/dmqrAHsZ  #ChangeNHS #NorthCentralLondon #HealthAndCare

🌟 Celebrating the CNO Leadership Fellowship Graduates! 🌟 Congratulations to our Chief Nursing Directorate senior leaders Mary, Dee, James, Rosie, Georgie, Kathryn, and Mayyah, who recently completed the year-long CNO Leadership Fellowship programme. Through focused training, group sessions, and Myers-Briggs profiling, they’ve strengthened key skills in negotiation, leadership styles, resilience, and conflict resolution. Supported by coaches and inspired by leaders across and beyond the NHS, these fellows gained invaluable insights and personal growth. We joined them for their end-of-programme celebration and heard first hand reflections on their journey and achievements. Cheers to our fellows for their hard work and dedication! 🎥👏
