Planning for the long term is no longer optional. It is essential if we are to provide people affected by cancer in Wales with the care and support they need. You can read the full briefing here 👇 walescanceralliance.org/wp-content/u...

Countries that take a stable, planned approach to cancer services see improvements over time, in survival, equity and patient experience. With cancer incidence rising and pressure on the NHS increasing, Wales cannot afford short-term thinking.

Our new briefing sets out the case for a long-term, national approach to cancer planning. It draws on conversations with clinicians, planners, third sector organisations and people with lived experience, alongside international evidence. The message is consistent:

Wales Cancer Alliance @walescanceralliance.org · 13/02/2026

Right now, Wales is relying on short-term plans and initiatives to drive improvement in cancer services. Those approaches haven’t delivered the scale or consistency of change patients need. Cancer services require sustained, strategic planning — not stop-start reform.

Patients and the third sector are too often brought in late to decisions. We believe patient voices and third sector expertise must be at the heart of designing cancer services from the very start. 🤝 #WalesCancerAlliance

❌ Wales is the only UK nation without a dedicated cancer strategy. ✅ We need a new, long-term cancer strategy that covers prevention, early diagnosis, treatment, living beyond cancer, and end of life. 🗺️ Patients deserve a roadmap for better outcomes, not patchwork plans. #WalesCancerAlliance

This #OvarianCancerAwarenessMonth we’re joining @walescanceralliance.org member - @targetovarian.bsky.social to help raise awareness of the symptoms of ovarian cancer and ensure more women know cervical screening will not detect #ovariancancer.

In infographic containing the symptoms of ovarian cancer - Bloated tummy, no appetite / feeling full quickly, tummy pain and needing to wee more. The advice is that if symptoms are persistent to ask your GP about ovarian cancer.

Wales Cancer Alliance @walescanceralliance.org · 13/03/2025

42 per cent of women in Wales wrongly believe that cervical screening will detect #ovariancancer. With no viable screening programme, it is vital that every woman knows the symptoms of ovarian cancer.

💬 Did you know our Responsive Emergency Assessment and Community Team (REACT) service aims to help keep patients with a terminal diagnosis out of hospital? The scheme was set up after data showed that end-of-life patients spent an average of a month in hospital in the last year of their life. 💔
