Future Health, Founder and Programme Director, Richard Sloggett presented recent Future Health policy research on cancer data to the House of Lords Public Services Committee.

Richard set out how applying some of the lessons from the pandemic can help us build a better connected, more real time data system that can support frontline staff in delivering better patient care and outcomes.

There are particular opportunities in cancer care, given existing work such as the cancer dashboard and the need to tackle the cancer backlog.
