Cancer Alliance Clinical Leadership Group

Chairs:
Dr Ian Pedley, Clinical Director (Secondary Care), Northern Cancer Alliance
Dr Katie Elliott, Clinical Director (Primary Care), Northern Cancer Alliance

This group brings together clinical experts in cancer from across the North East and North Cumbria, the membership includes GPs and senior nurses and doctors from across the eight acute Trusts that make up the Cancer Alliance.

The purpose of the Northern Cancer Alliance Clinical Leadership Group is to act as the primary source of clinical advice to the Northern Cancer Alliance Board concerning the complete cancer pathway. This extends from prevention strategies, through screening and early diagnosis, delivery of evidence-based treatment, living with and beyond cancer, palliative and supportive care to end of life care.

Working in partnership with the commissioning forum the group is key to the Alliances ability to drive the change needed to achieve our regions integrated care strategy for cancer.
