Cancer diagnosis, treatment and care has been severely disrupted by the pandemic, but some positive things have also been learned about the value of collaboration, and how off-site locations can be leveraged for care and treatment.  This is an extension of the community diagnostic hubs that were recommended by Sir Mike Richards and started to be rolled out in 2020.
