Cancer care
The cancer prevention, awareness and screening improvement strategies and work programmes are steered by the North Central London Cancer Alliance. Together we work to increase participation in the three national screening programmes; Breast Cancer Screening, Bowel Cancer Screening and Cervical Cancer Screening.
