Cancer Research UK, the Health and Social Care Board of Northern Ireland and 2 HSC Trusts (Belfast and South Eastern Trusts) are partnering to improve the prevention and earlier diagnosis of cancer. Our Facilitator Programme provides facilitators to work with a range of health professionals in identified local HSC Trust areas across the cancer pathway to raise the profile of cancer, identify activities to improve cancer outcomes and make change happen at a local level. Each Facilitator has a tailored workplan that has been developed in partnership to address local priorities.
