NCA Board

Providing strategic focus and vision to cancer services in the North. Chaired by Grant Archibald, Chief Executive, NHS Tayside.

The North Cancer Alliance Board comprises members from all six NHS Boards in the North and provides leadership, direction and strategy for cancer services in the North.

A key aim is to deliver the National Cancer Strategy: Beating Cancer; Ambition and Action and the cancer elements of the Regional Delivery Plan.

In that, the NCA Board oversees four key themes to the improvement of cancer services in the North:

  1. Improving survival from cancer and the experience of care
  2. Lead radical transformation of how cancer services are delivered across the North population to ensure sustainability
  3. Create collective responsibility for the quality and outcomes of cancer care pathways
  4. Work in partnership with patients, primary care and the third sector to achieve change

The North Cancer Alliance is about significantly improving outcomes in the North of Scotland, making step changes in earlier diagnosis and radically reducing variation.

The NCA provides a mechanism for collective accountability across the North of Scotland Board and is ultimately. accountable to the North of Scotland Chief Executives Group.
