Developing Lincolnshire’s Living with Cancer Strategy 2023-28 Engagement

Through partnership working, the ICB wants to make sure that people living with cancer in Lincolnshire are supported at the right time, in the right place, by the right people and in the right way for them. Work started in early 2023 on drafting the fourth Lincolnshire Living with Cancer Strategy. Within the partnership, patient and stakeholder involvement is recognized as an essential way to find out if the priorities are still valid, and the work already carried out is having the right impact in the right places for our population.
