The CCA welcomes the opportunity to submit evidence to the “shaping of the national cancer plan” consultation. We recognise the specialised nature of cancer care and treatment. However, the rapid evolution of community pharmacy in recent years allows the sector to better support the ‘left shift’ in cancer care, and, in doing so, better support patients and the wider health care system as care becomes more community focused.
Community pharmacy can be most effectively harnessed to support these important efforts in three key areas of priority.
- Prevention and reducing the risk of cancer
- Earlier diagnosis of cancer
- Improving patient experience across cancer referral, diagnosis, treatment, and beyond
