The cancer institute

The whole journey, in one connected system

Sixteen steps. You will not need all of them, but whichever one you are at, there is a named person, a written plan and a next step.

The pathway

Where are you right now?

Sixteen steps is how the system sees it. Four phases is how you live it, and the waiting between them is the part nobody draws.

What makes it one system

Four things that stay constant, wherever you are treated

One record

Digitised, ordered and portable. You do not become a new patient at every facility.

One navigator

A named person who books, chases, remembers and answers the phone.

One written plan

With the alternatives considered, the reasons they were rejected, and the cost.

One signature

Every report and test order is reviewed and signed by a named oncologist.

Every case goes to a panel. Oncology, pathology, genomic interpretation and counselling, on your file, at the same time.

You do not have to decide anything today
