To support lung cancer advocates in communicating key messages to decision-makers, this week the Network has published two-page summaries of its three major reports: Lung cancer screening: learning from implementation; Care pathways for lung cancer: building a foundation for optimal care; and Increasing the earlier detection of lung cancer: a toolbox for change.
These briefs are designed to be easily digestible, so time-poor policymakers can quickly understand what’s at stake and why it’s crucial for them to prioritise lung cancer.
The summaries were developed in response to an observation from Network members: that low awareness among policymakers is a key factor in the limited focus on lung cancer screening and other early detection strategies.
The new resources – part of our ever-expanding policy engagement activities – follow the launch of several figures and lung cancer FAQs earlier this month.
We hope these materials prove useful to Network members and other stakeholders looking to engage with policymakers and demonstrate the importance of making lung cancer an urgent policy priority.
