Welcome to the Network
Whether you, or a loved one, are undergoing treatment, or you are a healthcare professional working in Oncology, you will find lots of useful information, videos and links about Children’s Cancer.
North West Children’s Cancer Operational Delivery Network (NWCCODN) works in partnership with 2 Principal Treatment Centre’s (PTC), 7 Paediatric Oncology Shared Care Units (POSCUs) and 3 supra-network POSCUs. These 12 providers care for patients and families within the Northwest of England, North Wales and Isle of Man.
We aim to:
- Improve integration between different children’s cancer services
- Improve the experience of cancer care
- Increase participation in clinical trials, which is currently at around two thirds of patients
- Increase tumour banking rates
- Improve the transition between children’s and TYA services, in particular ensuring that there is no age gap between different services
- Embed genomic medicine within children’s cancer services
