Presentations from the Improving pancreatic cancer care - launch event
19th October 2023, 09.45 - 16.30, London
On 19th October we came together at a free in-person event in London to raise awareness of the need to improve pancreatic cancer services – and we launched our vision for how this can be achieved.
Over the last two years, together with healthcare professionals, service development experts and people with a personal connection, we’ve been building agreement on what a better and fairer standard of care looks like across diagnosis, treatment and care for people with pancreatic cancer and their families. We’re determined to end the postcode lottery of care for people with pancreatic cancer.
This event brought together the people with the power to improve pancreatic cancer care across the UK – government and NHS officials, health professionals, health bodies, industry representatives and people affected by pancreatic cancer – in one room.
Together, we discussed how we can ensure that high-quality treatment and care is available everywhere, so that everyone affected by pancreatic cancer can live long and well.
