The awards, independently organised by Moondance Cancer Initiative, celebrate and spotlight the individuals, teams and collaborations across NHS Wales and its partners who deliver, lead and innovate cancer services.

Swansea Bay University Health Board won two accolades in the Achievement category, including the Better Patient Experience award for their Radiographer-Led Late Radiotherapy Effects Service. The initiative provides tailored support and timely specialist referrals for patients experiencing long-term complications following treatment, creating a more responsive model for cancer survivorship in Wales.

Commenting on the award, Rebecca Lloyd said: ‘‘It feels overwhelming to win, but it’s a great achievement for a brand-new service across Wales.’’
