Biography
I currently work for Macmillan Cancer Support where I provide strategic programme leadership for Macmillan's neighbourhood health programme. My work looks at how we can better organise care around communities - not hospitals - and how enabling more care to happen closer to home can improve health for people with cancer and other long-term conditions who currently have the worst experiences and outcomes.
Bringing care closer to home is not a new concept, but the UK has long struggled to shift care from hospital to community. It has been even harder to do this for cancer care and treatment, which is designed around a hospital system and where there isn't enough focus on cancer as a long-term condition.
I want to learn from other places that have successfully brought together hospitals, primary care, community, mental health and social care to co-design local health and care service with communities, and to understand how cancer as a long-term condition can be embedded in these models.
