WBCPC endorses the European Code of Cancer Practice

The World Bladder Cancer Patient Coalition is proud to endorse the European Code of Cancer Practice (The Code). Launched recently by the European Cancer Organisation, The Code is a citizen and patient-centred statement of core requirements for good clinical cancer practice, to improve outcomes for all of Europe’s cancer patients.

The Code sets out ten key overarching rights, signposting what patients should expect from their health system, for them to achieve the best possible outcomes. It has been co-produced by a team of cancer patients, patient advocates and cancer professionals.

The European Code of Cancer Practice is translated into 24 European languages . You can download The Code alongside other related resources on the European Cancer Organisation website.

The World Bladder Cancer Patient Coalition is a member of the Patient Advisory Committee (PAC) of the European Cancer Organisation.  Established in 2008, PAC provides European patient organisations and bodies involved in patient care with a solid platform to express their expectations and provide the European Cancer Organisation with direct insight into the issues and challenges faced by cancer patients.
