9. Commitment to change To close the roundtable, each attendee was also given the opportunity to verbally share reflections on the following: 1. What do you see as the main benefit of collecting cancer stage and recurrence data? 2. To help maintain momentum from the roundtable, what is one commitment you or your organisation would like to make regarding the next steps? Some of these reflections captured during this section of the agenda are included at Appendix A. The resounding consensus from attendees was that it will take sector- wide commitment, investment, action and advocacy to fully realise the roadmap and recommendations discussed during the day. The significant value of these data, coupled with the timing and need for change, was discussed and agreed by the group, as captured by the quote from Professor Sanchia Aranda below. Attendees also expressed interest in formalising a collaborative group consisting of the roundtable attendees, and other interested stakeholders, as a forum to drive actions and maintain accountability.
“
The critical message is that we have the capacity, the knowledge, and the tools to improve cancer outcomes today … I think equity is probably the most important rationale for changing the data system. – Professor Sanchia Aranda
