First-hand speaker experiences
Sue began her career in cancer nursing, initially at a specialist cancer centre, followed by a number of Clinical Nurse Specialist roles across Greater Manchester. Sue’s career history spans front-line patient care to operational management of primary and secondary care services, service development and commissioning. She has held a range of positions managing Trust services and Cancer Network programmes, before moving on to become a senior programme manager for Greater Manchester Cancer Commissioning in 2015. Sue led the successful ACE2 MDC pilot project in Greater Manchester, developing the foundations for patients with non-specific symptoms of cancer, acting as early proof of concept for the RDC model. This work has enabled Greater Manchester Cancer Alliance to be in a position to further develop the RDC model – a project that Sue now leads on behalf of the Alliance.
