Cheshire & Merseyside Cancer Alliance - Overweight and Obesity Project

Tender description

<p>***Please note that the Cheshire &amp; Merseyside Cancer Alliance is hosted by The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre NHS Foundation Trust, not Alder Hey Children's NHS Foundation Trust***</p> <p>CMCA are responsible for cancer performance, quality and outcomes across Cheshire and Merseyside, and collaborate with our NHS colleagues, and partners in the public and third sectors across Cheshire and Merseyside to champion and enable new approaches to delivering cancer services and care. We bring experts in cancer care together to deliver quantifiable positive change in how cancer care is delivered.</p> <p>Overweight and obesity rates are the second largest modifiable risk factor for cancer, and so the overall aim of this project is to fulfil one of the core remits of the Cancer Alliance: that of facilitator and system-builder. CMCA is hoping to commit to a 5-year programme of funding for this work, to enable long-term sustainable approaches to addressing this challenge.</p> Keywords: Cancer, Obesity, Overweight
