Our work

How cancer care is organised, delivered and improved.

Our projects look at the practical side of cancer care β€” how services are networked across hospitals, how people are followed up after treatment, and how promising new diagnostics are put safely into practice β€” bringing together clinical, health-economic and health-systems expertise across countries.

Projects & initiatives

Collaborative projects β€” some running, some completed β€” spanning how cancer care is organised, delivered and paid for.

What we work on

Practical themes across how cancer care is organised, delivered and paid for.

πŸ₯

Organising cancer care

Concentration of care and hub-and-spoke networks β€” how services are configured to improve quality and access.

πŸ”„

Risk-based follow-up

Tailoring follow-up after primary treatment to individual risk, reducing both over- and under-monitoring.

🧫

Translating new diagnostics

Moving innovations such as liquid biopsies and genomics from research into routine cancer management.

βš–οΈ

Access, cost & sustainability

Fair access to care and the long-term affordability and sustainability of cancer services.

Built through collaboration

Our work is grounded in health-economics and health-services research, and we partner with academic groups, clinical networks and health-system organisations.
