Get Involved

There are many ways to give your views, and we want to make it as easy as possible for you to tell us what you think of the proposals. Between 19th January and 29th March, you can:

1. Complete the questionnaire

Questionnaire Link

A consultation questionnaire is available online via the link above, as well as a downloadable PDF version here if you'd prefer to fill it out and return by post via our freepost address. Paper copies are available at Mount Vernon Cancer Centre, oncology outpatient departments at local hospitals and at local libraries wherever possible. Please check our website for locations. If you need help to fill in the questionnaire please contact us and we will be happy to arrange some support for you.



For accessibility reasons we have produced a Word version of the questionnaire which can be downloaded here.

2. Attend a public meeting

There are different types of events planned during the consultation at different times, different days in different locations - in person and online. These might be in your town or online. You will be asked to register in advance to ensure the events are well managed to provide the best experience for everyone and make sure views are captured.

*The tables below will be updated as events are confirmed.

3. Events and focus groups

We held more than 100 online events and focus groups to help us develop the proposals and will be holding more of these events during the consultation. Some voluntary and community groups will also hold events for people affected.

4. Invite the team to your community or patient group meeting

We’d love to come to talk to groups and organisations to explain our proposals. You will be able to get in touch to arrange a visit.

5. Individual or organisational responses and submissions

We welcome responses from individuals or organisations. Please make sure they are submitted before the end of the consultation. When you respond to the consultation, please include your reasons for the responses you give. It can include explanations and even share evidence that backs the points you make. That will really help us understand your response.

What happens next?

The proposals that we are describing in this document are just that: proposals. We are asking patients, staff and local people to share their thoughts before we decide what to do.

We want to make sure that when we go ahead, our plans will improve cancer outcomes and experience for patients. We will consider your responses carefully and take them into account when we are making decisions about these proposals.

This consultation document is a summary of our proposals which are described in more detail in our pre-consultation business case which you can read on our consultation website.

The consultation runs from 19th January 2026. The closing date is 29th March 2026.

Your feedback will influence what happens next with Mount Vernon Cancer Centre services. The consultation responses will be analysed by June 2026.

We plan to develop a Decision Making Business Case which reflects the feedback from the consultation, with recommendations which will be reviewed and approved by NHS England and the Integrated Care Boards.

This will include consideration of the implementation plan for the recommended option.
