• Offer transferable learning, demonstrating
potential for adoption in other services or regions,
helping even more people.
These priorities link closely to Macmillan’s mission
to ensure that every person with cancer gets care
that meets their needs, reduces unnecessary
variation and focuses support where it’s needed
most.
Macmillan’s support for the Advancing Healthcare
Awards isn’t only about celebrating good work
– it’s also about helping the whole system learn
and improve. By bringing together inspiring ideas
and highlighting what works well, these awards
help spark new thinking and encourage others to
adopt successful approaches. Most importantly,
they showcase the vital role AHPs and healthcare
scientists play throughout the cancer journey, from
diagnosis to end-of-life care. We are immensely
proud to be part of that celebration.
If you or your team are improving cancer care in any
way – through a new approach, smarter teamwork
or better support for people affected by cancer – we
encourage you to apply. Your work could inspire
services across the UK and help shape the future of
cancer care.
