Recent news from Cancer Research UK (CRUK) highlights concerning delays in cancer treatment across England, with missed targets putting patients at risk. A 4-week delay in treatment can increase the risk of death by 6-8% for several cancers. Urgent improvements in healthcare efficiency are critical to changing this. I'm proud to be part of MySunrise, a digital cancer support initiative. Our innovative systemic anti-cancer therapy (SACT) pre-assessment saves 1 hour per patient, helping them start treatment faster and freeing up nurses to deliver the care patients urgently need. We’ve seen a 74% preference for virtual pre-assessments from patients. Digital transformation is key to streamlining healthcare.
