The Improving Cancer Outcomes and Leadership course aims to address the challenging issue of inequalities in cancer outcomes across Europe and is designed to equip mid-career cancer healthcare professionals (of all disciplines), industry experts, patient advocates, and regulatory personnel with essential skills for strategic planning, applied health research, implementation strategies, and change management to enhance care quality and patient outcomes in their regions. The Training Programme will be developed in close collaboration with patients and patient advocates to ensure that we retain a patient-centred approach. The Training Programme will address overarching issues including early diagnosis, specialised multidisciplinary care, patient-centred approaches, integrated care and the systematic use of existing knowledge. It will engender within participants a clear recognition of the importance of Research and Innovation and clinical trials to 21st century patient care It is intended that the participants of this course will represent many European countries and that they will remain in contact and develop a network for shared approaches and best practice. Participants will be asked to share examples showing initiatives and challenges to improve clinical practice in their countries during the course.
