Macmillan Cancer Improvement Partnership
The Macmillan Cancer Improvement Partnership in Manchester brings together cancer care services and their supporters to improve the experience of everybody affected by cancer.
The partnership exists between Macmillan Cancer Support, the three Manchester Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs), people affected by cancer, GPs, NHS hospital trusts, St Ann’s Hospice and Manchester City Council. Together, we want to deliver a more effective and compassionate standard of care.
Our vision is that people in Manchester will be able to say they had the best support and treatment from an expert team who made them feel cared for and in control.

The Macmillan Cancer Improvement Partnership (MCIP) is re-designing a range of new services in partnership with patients, carers, commissioners and health care professionals.
