Early Detection & Diagnosis Funding Call
Our Early Detection & Diagnosis Funding Call aims to pump-prime the implementation of changes that will increase the proportion of cancers diagnosed at an earlier stage in Wales.
Bowel Cancer Programme
Our Bowel Cancer Programme recognises that radical new approaches are needed to achieve a step change in outcomes across Wales. Pivotal to the aims of the programme is the permission to innovate, to test ideas and approaches.
Rapid Diagnosis Centres
Wales’ Rapid Diagnosis Centres are an exciting development with the potential to radically reduce time to cancer diagnosis.
Upper GI Programme
Upper gastrointestinal cancers, namely oesophageal and gastric cancer have some of the poorest survival outcomes in Wales. We are interested in projects with the potential to contribute meaningful improvements to survival outcomes, with particular focus on accelerating progress towards earlier diagnosis, less-invasive diagnostic and treatment technologies, and workforce innovations. We are pleased to have started work in this area through the Transnasal Endoscopy project.
Innovation Time Awards
The Innovation Time Awards support colleagues across NHS Wales to adopt practical and clinical innovations to improve cancer outcomes with immediate impact - whether in cancer services, diagnostics, treatments, enabling technologies or workforce on the ground.
