North East London Cancer Alliance

Who are we?

Formed on 1 April 2020, we are the North East London Cancer Alliance, one of 21 cancer alliances across England.

Cancer Alliances were established as a result of recommendations made by the Independent Cancer Taskforce report, ‘Achieving world-class cancer outcomes: a strategy for England 2015-2020

North East London Cancer Alliance helps to improve the diagnosis, treatment and care for local cancer patients. To do this, we work with patients, residents, carers, hospitals, GP practices, health and care professionals, local authorities and community and voluntary organisations across North East London.
