Help Shape the Future of Neighbourhood Cancer Care Within Your Community

The SWAG Cancer Alliance is inviting healthcare professionals, community partners, voluntary organisations, patients and carers to take part in a co-design event that will help shape the future of Neighbourhood Cancer Care within your local area.

As part of the development of a Neighbourhood Cancer Care Framework across the South West, we want to bring together the expertise, insight and experience of those involved in supporting people affected by cancer. Your professional knowledge, community perspective or lived experience will help shape a shared vision and practical roadmap for the future of cancer care within our neighbourhoods.

With neighbourhood-based care becoming an increasing focus for cancer services nationally, this event will help shape how we deliver that vision locally.

Together, we will explore:

What great neighbourhood cancer care should look like in our area

The priorities and actions needed to make that vision a reality

How patients, carers and communities can play a central role in shaping future services

The event will include presentations, facilitated discussions and interactive workshops, giving everyone an opportunity to share ideas, experiences and perspectives.

Who Should Attend?

We welcome anyone with a role in supporting people affected by cancer within their community, including:

Healthcare professionals, clinicians and NHS leaders (primary and secondary care)

Representatives from Integrated Care Boards (ICBs)

Local authority and social care colleagues

Voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise (VCFSE) organisations

Patients, carers and people with lived experience of cancer

Community representatives and local partners

Important Information

Places are free, but booking is essential.

We want to ensure that a wide range of voices, experiences and organisations are represented at the event. If demand exceeds the number of places available, we may not be able to offer a place to everyone who registers. In this situation, registrations will be reviewed to achieve a balanced mix of participants and perspectives.

Registering your interest does not guarantee a place. We will contact all registrants to confirm whether a place has been allocated, however please do hold the date in your diaries.

We look forward to working with you to help shape the future of neighbourhood cancer care in your community.
