Martin recently attended a parliamentary reception hosted by healthcare company MSD to support efforts to significantly improve cancer outcomes across the UK.
The event, titled "75% of people surviving cancer from 2035: how do we get there?", focused on practical steps needed to translate the government's National Cancer Plan from policy into real-world practice.
The reception showcased various collaborative working projects that demonstrate how the NHS, government, and industry partners can work together to enhance patient care. Attendees discussed the vital importance of early diagnosis, innovative treatments, and sustainable investment to meet the ambitious national target of ensuring three-quarters of cancer patients survive their diagnosis by 2035.
Martin Vickers MP said, "Improving cancer survival rates must remain a top priority for our health service. Attending this event was a valuable opportunity to discuss how we can collectively advance the National Cancer Plan to ensure patients receive the best possible care. Achieving the 2035 survival target requires absolute dedication, and I am fully committed to supporting the initiatives and partnerships that will deliver better outcomes and save lives."
