Opportunities for Collaboration between the UK and the UAE in Cancer Care
Our report on Opportunities for Collaboration between the UK and the UAE in Cancer Care, which is the outcome of a campaign we ran on this theme during 2023 and at the Summit we hosted during Arab Health in Dubai last February, is published today.
The Paper focusses on three areas of opportunity:
the importance of utilising AI and other technologies to enhance the efficacy of screening and diagnostics tools;
the importance of developing robust and coherent data flows between the UK and the UAE that can optimise the potential for developing joint research projects and the sharing of anonymised and de-anonymised patient data;
what the UK and the UAE can learn from each other in supportive and palliative care and improving end of life care – in the home, the community and in hospices.
The Paper makes several recommendations for enhancing collaboration between the two countries on cancer care. These include:
The UK and the UAE should exchange knowledge about emerging trends in AI in Healthcare
The UAE and the UK should work together to develop a comprehensive and harmonised framework for collaborations concerning the use of the human genome in screening and diagnostics or research and development
