The role will focus on accelerating the adoption of proven digital tools and aligning with ICB and provider digital plans to avoid duplication. Its exact responsibilities will be shaped locally and may be part‑time or taken on by someone already doing similar work.

Readiness means each Alliance has assessed its digital maturity, set priorities, and is prepared to adopt national technologies that support cancer care. Understanding local Digital Maturity Assessments and aligning national tools to cancer pathways will be essential.

Communities of Practice will support shared learning by maintaining evidence, reviewing promising models, producing practical implementation guides, and coordinating rollout. Alliance MDs suggest collective stress‑testing, simple guidance, and aligned timelines.

Because each area differs, flexibility is crucial. Implementation will be phased based on local maturity and capacity. Digital transformation is central to delivering the future Cancer Plan.

We want your feedback on these proposed deliverables for 2026/27:
  • Nominate a Digital Lead and submit an Expression of Interest for digital themes (Q1–Q2).
  • Complete a Digital Maturity Assessment and join a national Community of Practice (Q1–Q2).
  • Lead/support implementation and local action plans for agreed digital priorities (Q3–Q4).
  • Participate in innovation clusters to accelerate adoption and share best practice (Q3–Q4).

Deliverable: Alliances to achieve readiness for national digital adoption by 2026/27.
