The Novartis Breast Cancer Health Inequalities Tool
The Novartis Breast Cancer Health Inequalities (BC HI) Tool brings together a range of datasets to build a greater understanding of the drivers behind the current variation that exists across breast cancer pathways, as well as in breast cancer patient outcomes, at a national and local level across England.
The BC HI interactive dashboard-based tool can highlight relationships between breast cancer and socioeconomic factors, such as deprivation, at different stages of disease and within different age groups.
The BC HI Tool showcases a variety of real-world data, such as cancer wait times, stage of diagnosis, survival and quality of life metrics, to highlight disparity, variation and unmet need, both nationally and at a system level (Cancer Alliance/ICS).
This tool has been created by HSJ Information and funded by Novartis UK.

Insights from the BC HI Tool can support the goal of reducing health inequalities across the NHS at a national and system level, aligning with the NHS Core20PLUS5 ambition. Drawing on deprivation data from the Office for National Statistics, the tool maps breast cancer outcomes in relation to deprivation at a national, Cancer Alliance and ICS level, providing a breakdown of outcomes data across deprivation quintiles.
