Health inequalities (HI) in cancer are a significant problem in the UK. Therefore, an inclusive approach to cancer care is needed to address the diverse needs of people with protected characteristics such as race, age, disability, religious/cultural beliefs etc
The British Oncology Pharmacy Association (BOPA) set up an Equity, Diversity &Inclusion (EDI) subcommittee 2.5years ago, aiming to make inclusion a reality within cancer care. One of the committee work streams is investigation into inclusive care. In this session, we will share our findings to date on the below projects:
· Scoping review about interventions to optimise patients’ experiences with systemic anticancer therapies
· Advocacy for the cancer journey
· Supporting people with learning disabilities
· Supporting families of children living with cancer
