After a two-year wait the new cancer plan is live. But is it any good? And can it hot targets that have been missed for more than a decade?
Join Wilmslow GP, Radiotherapy UK and UK cancer experts for a blistering podcast episode that covers the good, the bad and the ugly.
From an over-emphasis on technology, and a lack of detail, to praise for the ambition of the plan; this podcast panel covers it all.
Hear from those that have given their professional lives to helping cancer patients and prepare for a no holds barred discussion.

Support Catch Up With Cancer
Our Chair, Professor Pat Price launched the award winning #CatchUpWithCancer campaign with Craig and Mandy Russell, after they lost their daughter Kelly, 31, to bowel cancer.
We’re asking the government to boost cancer services and ensure cancer patients receive quicker and better cancer treatment, just like Kelly should have.
Everyone in the UK deserves access to the best cancer treatment and support. But not everyone gets it.
In the last decade, more than half a million cancer patients have waited too long for treatment. That’s why Radiotherapy UK co-founded the #CatchUpWithCancer campaign, to raise the voice of cancer patients and their loved ones.
