Our Cancer Alliance aims to improve the lives of people affected by cancer in Greater Manchester.

We are one of 20 Cancer Alliances across NHS England.

We want more people than ever to reduce their risk of developing cancer, and for those who do go on to develop cancer, we want to improve their survival outcomes and experiences.

We work in collaboration with organisations across our region to help people get diagnosed earlier, provide better treatment and support people to live well with and beyond cancer.

Each cancer type is represented by a pathway board.  Our pathway boards in Greater Manchester Cancer lead a number of workstreams aimed at improving the patient pathway, experience and outcomes.

Each board has a Clinical Lead at the helm, and comprises of a wide range of stakeholders with expertise from across the pathway, who can challenge, advise and work together to progress each project and implement them effectively across the Greater Manchester healthcare system.

As well as the work done by our pathway boards, there are a number of cross cutting programmes of work taking place. These programmes of work include early diagnosis and primary care, faster diagnosis, treatment and personalised care, and a workforce and education programme.

We involve patients and carers, members of the public and diverse communities in our work, so we can ensure that our services are designed with and for the people that they serve.

Our cancer alliance brings together clinical and managerial leaders from all hospital trusts and other health and care organisations across the entire region, alongside user involvement representatives and other partners. Working in partnership enables care to be effectively planned across all parts of our cancer pathways.

By bringing together world-class researchers, clinicians and operational delivery, we have a unique opportunity to improve the lives of people affected by cancer in our region.
