The All-Party Parliamentary Group on Breast Cancer, 27 February 2018
- Evidence presented to the inquiry showed that, although there are examples of innovative and high performing services, unacceptable variations exist across the country in particular around organisation of local services, availability of specialist diagnostic staff and inadequate collection and sharing of data.This report sets out recommendations to tackle these problems and address unwarranted geographical inequalities in breast cancer.
- There is no formal mechanism for good practice to be replicated more widely.
- The report includes a number of case studies including
- Improving screening uptake in NHS Tower Hamlets CCG
- Sharing data in NHS Scotland
- Secondary breast cancer at The Christie NHS Foundation Trust, Manchester - nurse-led clinics for all patients with new diagnoses of secondary breast cancer.
