In 2019 and 2020, TCST cancer data team  worked with national colleagues to develop two fantastic analytical tools a couple of years ago.  Although the team aren’t responsible for updating these it is great to see them being updated and developed by national colleagues.

The prevalence dashboard can be viewed via the NHS cancer data website. It allows you to easily and quickly see how many people were living with and beyond cancer on 31 December 2019; yon can view the information for England, by cancer alliance, STP, CCG and local authority.

The referral, conversion and detection rates tool can also be found and accessed via the NHS cancer data website.  This tool provides insights into how conversion rates and detection rates from two week wait referrals vary according to tumor site, geography and for the first time, across demographic breakdown, e.g. across different ethnicities or between different levels of deprivation.
