The Cancer Care Susnet is an online community working together to improve the environmental sustainability and climate resilience of cancer care. Our Network brings together healthcare professionals, researchers, educators and organisers to share practice, discuss ideas and work together to move towards sustainable healthcare for cancer patients.
Our Vision
Whether you are a healthcare professional working in cancer care, a student, academic or anyone else with an interest in this area, why not join our network to find out more? We aim to share interesting topics, useful resources, and host online events. We hope that members will share any sustainability questions, or challenges they’re experiencing, and find a supportive community here to help answer and overcome them. And we are always keen to share your sustainability success stories which can help to inspire others!
Our Mission
1) To encourage engagement of oncology professionals and others involved in cancer care with sustainability and climate resilience
2) To generate a bank of case studies to inspire and guide sustainability focussed projects in cancer care in the UK and internationally
3) To foster an inclusive and welcoming culture of multiprofessional working for sustainability in cancer care
