Cancer Care Performance Pathway
Cancer is one of the fastest-growing workforce health challenges facing UK employers.
Rising incidence rates, increasing treatment complexity and longer recovery periods are increasing healthcare costs, extending employee absence and impacting productivity.
The Healix Health Cancer Care Performance Pathway has been designed in partnership with Perci Health, The Health Value Alliance and other specialist partners to help employers tackle these challenges, bringing together prevention, early detection, specialist cancer support, treatment navigation and return-to-work planning within one connected model.

What makes the Cancer Care Performance Pathway different?
Support starts earlier
Most cancer services begin when a diagnosis is made. The Healix Health Cancer Care Performance Pathway starts much sooner, helping employees understand and act on potential risks before cancer develops or progresses.
Support includes:
Health Risk Assessments
Personalised cancer risk insights
Behavioural change support
Screening optimisation and engagement
This proactive approach helps employees take informed action earlier and supports employers in building healthier, more resilient workforces.
Dedicated Cancer Nurse Specialist support
From the point of an abnormal screening result onwards, employees can access specialist support from dedicated Cancer Nurse Specialists working alongside the wider Healix Health clinical team. This support continues regardless of whether care is delivered through the NHS, privately, or through a combination of both.
Specialist nurses help employees to:
Navigate diagnosis and treatment
Understand available options
Access benefits and support services
Manage symptoms and side effects
Coordinate appointments and care
This provides a consistent point of support during what can be a complex and challenging time.
Whole-person support
The pathway extends beyond traditional treatment to support wider health and wellbeing needs, including:
Emotional and psychological support
Nutritional guidance
Exercise and rehabilitation programmes
Menopause support
Lymphoedema support
Neuropathy support
Family and carer guidance
Recovery and return-to-work planning
Support does not end when treatment finishes. Employees can access ongoing help to support recovery and a successful return to work, including:
Personalised return-to-work planning
Annual Cancer Care Reviews
Ongoing symptom and recovery support
Living with and beyond cancer support
The added value for your clients

Through earlier intervention, coordinated support and workforce-level insights, organisations can better manage healthcare costs, minimise disruption caused by cancer-related absence, support employee wellbeing, encourage greater benefit engagement and make more informed decisions about future benefit design.
