Publications and Resources

RM Partners provides a range of publications and resources, including reports, guidance and protocols, to inform healthcare professionals and patients about cancer care and services. Many of the resources and documents produced by the London Cancer Alliance that are still current are available here. Others are available at the archived London Cancer Alliance website.

Key reports

• RM Partners Cancer Strategy for North West and South West London 2021-2025
  The RM Partners Cancer Strategy 2021-2025 describes our long-term vision in how we will deliver more patients being diagnosed at an earlier stage and increasing survival following a diagnosis of cancer. The strategy has been developed with all our stakeholders, including the two integrated care systems that we cover (North West London and South West London) and aligns compatibly with their long-term strategic aims for us to deliver collaboratively comprehensive cancer care across each system.
• National Cancer Strategy
  The NHS England National Cancer Strategy, Achieving World-Class Cancer Outcomes, was published in 2015 by the Independent Cancer Taskforce. The report set out a vision for what cancer patients should expect from the health service. Cally Palmer, National Cancer Director for England, launched a plan to make these changes a reality by 2020, including the establishment of 19 Cancer Alliances across the country to lead implementation of the strategy locally.
• NHS Long Term Plan 
  The NHS Long Term Plan, first published in January 2019, was developed in partnership with frontline health and care staff, patients and their families and other experts. It sets out ways that the NHS can achieve the ambitious improvements it wants to to see for patients over the next ten years.

Referral forms

• Pan London urgent referral forms: The Transforming Cancer Services Team has produced Pan-London Suspected Cancer Referral Forms. These replace the suspected cancer referral forms produced by the former cancer networks. The forms, educational resources and support information are available from Healthy London Partnership.
