About Cancer Services

Our Founder Prof Andrew Wardley is a renowned clinical entrepreneur, media personality, author of bestselling cancer care books, medical director, and political adviser.

With over 300 publications in leading healthcare journals Prof Wardley is committed to innovative changes in treatments and redesigning models of cancer care across cancer systems.

A cross-sector global leader specialising in international practice changing clinical trials and implementation of their results into practice, he has led many major advances in breast cancer treatment improving outcomes for patients.

In 2021, Prof Andrew Wardley left the NHS, recognising Life Sciences Companies often approach the same clinical sites resulting in a de facto monopoly. Professor Wardley’s ambition is for every person to have easy access to the best cancer treatment and clinical trials; a model he introduced to the NHS in 2001.

 

The UK fell from 4th to 10th in clinical trial performance between 2018 and 2022. UK delivery of industry-run trials dropped by 44%. This deprives patients, clinicians, clinical sites, the NHS, and the economy from the benefits of improved health outcomes. This is also seen in cancer survival outcomes in UK being worse than similar countries across the world. The UK is lagging other countries with no signs of improvements. The current NHS workforce and skills crisis requires new collaborations to reverse this decline.


In 2020, as part of his continual commitment to health inequalities, Prof Wardley developed, in consultation and support from NHS, McKinsey Business Partners and Life Science Companies, a National Oncology Centre combining multiple business and commercial models aimed at sustainable business, service and product innovation. Upon securing investment, Cancer Services became an exemplar in innovation startups, demonstrating how scientific discovery through to organisational design and implementation can achieve commercialisation while benefiting multiple patients and partners.


In less than 12 months Cancer Services & Innovation Group was driving economic growth by working with the NHS to de-risk, enable and support innovation and research, while unleashing private sector investments. Cancer Services & Innovation Group continue to invest in regional economic growth that will significantly develop the UK’s innovation capability, improve performance and international investments into research and innovation.
