LAST CHANCE TO SIGN OUR PETITION

Add your name to our petition before 7 March and join over 77 thousand people calling on the Prime Minister to take action to improve the experience and outcomes of people affected by cancer.

Weve united with over 60 cancer charities as One Cancer Voice to urge the UK government to ensure that the cancer content within the Major Conditions Strategy is ambitious, fully funded and incorporates the evidence already provided by the cancer community. We also ask that the government commit to ensuring there is a longer-term strategy for cancer which focuses on transforming cancer research, diagnosis, treatment and patient experience.
