Midland Cancer Network

Cancer touches most people and their family/whanau at some time in their lives, whether this is through diagnosis and treatment or caring for someone with cancer.

The Midland Cancer Network has a leadership, facilitation and co-ordination role in bringing together and working with stakeholders across the organisational and service boundaries to:

We work closely with representatives of people who have had cancer, carers, health professionals and managers in the implementation of the New Zealand Cancer Control Strategy (2003) and New Zealand Cancer Control Strategy Action Plan 2005-2010 (2005) for the people in the Midland Cancer Network area. Our intent is to improve the journey of cancer patients and their family/whānau through the complex pathway of care, working towards equitable, high quality, patient centred, evidence based and multidisciplinary care.

 

The network’s three strategic directions for 2009-2014 are to:

 

·     share knowledge and information to enable informed decision making

·     facilitate regional service quality improvement leading to better, sooner, more convenient services and

·     support innovation and infrastructure development to reduce inequalities and build capacity and capability
