Moondance Cancer Initiative will establish a think-tank modelled on the King’s Fund and the Wellcome Trust, bringing thought-leaders, external groups and expert clinicians to advise on the development of solutions across the entire cancer pathway from pre-symptom screening to treatments. It will innovate and share best practice through the funding of service transformation and research projects, through the dissemination of research and provision of education and training. It will lobby NHS Wales and Welsh Government to disrupt sub-optimum arrangements and transform clinical and commissioning pathways to improve the prevention, screening, diagnosis and treatment of cancers in Wales.
