Cancer Data Team

Cancer Data Team

The Cancer Data Team forms part of the Trust’s overall Cancer Information Team. The team plays a pivotal role in the journey of every cancer patient, working behind the scenes to help shape the future of cancer services.
The five-strong team – with a collective Trust experience and length of service of almost 70 years – is responsible for collating and validating all of the cancer data for our hospitals. This can range from logging GP or dentist patient referrals and the time of diagnosis to charting waiting times and following the patient pathway during and after their treatment. The statistics are used to piece together a national picture of waiting times and treatments across all cancer specialties. The data is also considered by the Government as part of its planning when it comes to awareness and funding of particular cancers.
The team is proud to be able to make a difference to cancer pathways and feels part of something much bigger – with its work helping to shape the future of cancer and celebrate the progression being made.
