Reducing delays, releasing clinical capacity and ensuring timely care.
What really works?
Digital Workforce and Flowable are hosting an exclusive Cancer Care Forum in Leeds for Cancer Alliance leaders and senior operational, clinical, digital and service improvement colleagues.
Taking place ahead of the South Yorkshire and Bassetlaw Cancer Alliance Conference, the forum offers an opportunity to explore high-impact solutions across cancer pathways—improving care, automating manual work and ensuring clinical capacity is available when patients need it.
This event will showcase proven solutions delivering measurable results across the NHS and internationally.
