MacPaCC: developing evidence to improve care for people with advanced cancer

To give people living with cancer the best possible support, evidence is needed about which kinds of care work best. The Macmillan Palliative Care Collaborative (MacPaCC) has been working together for nearly a decade to develop such evidence and help improve services in the NHS.

Achievements
Since its creation by Macmillan Cancer Support in 2003, MacPaCC members have produced more than 150 relevant publications; tested and evaluated new services; influenced policy and practice; and attracted additional funding to this important but under-funded field of research.
