The Global Coalition for Radiotherapy (GCR) was honored to be invited to the All.Can Global Summit 2024, held on 16 September. This event brought together patient organisations, healthcare professionals, clinicians, data experts, as well as industry and health system decision-makers, all committed to improving cancer care.
GCR Executive Director, Darien Laird moderated the session, “Advancing Efficient Cancer Care through the care pathway: Spotlight on early detection and care.” The panel discussed the challenges and disparities that exist in the current cancer care pathway and examples of good practices for early detection and care.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
The key takeaways from the panelists on the topic of improving early cancer diagnosis and early access to treatment:
Build a foundation of trust: Trust between patients, healthcare systems, and workforce is essential.
Co-create health systems with diverse patient groups: By involving a broad range of patient voices, health systems can eliminate inequities.
Increase efficiency and reduce bureaucracy: Find ways to remove bottlenecks to improve patient outcomes.
All.Can has released a recording of the session, which is available to watch here:
IMPLEMENTING SOLUTIONS TO IMPROVE CANCER CARE
The themes and ideas discussed during the summit demonstrated that patient-centered care should be a top priority and we can make a positive impact in the fight against cancer.
“A fabulous group of panelists including Antonella Cardone, Marianna Cavazza, Jesus Garcia-Foncillas López and Leah Stephenson. So honored that it was my privilege to navigate the discussion with them all. Thank you to the other panelists, colleagues and new friends that came out of this collaborative session. And thank you to All.Can CEO, Eduardo Pisani for being a true leader in bringing people together.” - Darien Laird
At the summit, All.Can International launched the “Action Guide For Efficient Cancer Care”. They developed this guide, to offer actionable insights and practical guidance for the implementation of cancer care efficiency metrics across health systems.
GCR looks forward to continuing its collaboration with partners like All.Can, to help implement new ideas and improve outcomes for cancer patients globally. Learn more about our stakeholders here.
