Don't let Northern Ireland be left behind with this important legislation! Add your voice now.
Tobacco kills around 1,800 people each year in Northern Ireland; that’s one person every five hours. Representatives in Northern Ireland have a huge opportunity to take a step towards a #SmokefreeUK and play their part in helping to end cancers caused by smoking as they prepare to vote on the Tobacco and Vapes Bill legislation on 10 Feb. Will you take just 2 minutes to let them know that you support helping create the first ever #SmokefreeUK generation? #Smokefree @CR_UK @CRUKBelfast @CancerFocusNI #Cancer

Proven to detect lung cancers earlier and save lives. But Northern Ireland has no plans to introduce lung cancer screening.
The Targeted Lung Health Check Programme is now named NHS Lung Cancer Screening! Check out this UK National Screening Committee blog to find out more > #lungcancerscreening @NHSuk

Well done Liz!
Liz Thompson was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2013. A true inspiration, she still plays tennis every Monday with the 'Monday Girls' and regularly takes part in 5k walks. "Unlucky to have lung cancer but very lucky that research has given me a targeted drug."

So many reports have outlined the need for change in the health service. It is unacceptable that those responsible for making these changes have done virtually nothing.

AI at its best. What a great idea - and a great result. How can we enable more GP surgeries (including NI) to use this? GPs use AI to boost cancer detection rates in England by 8%

NI cancer waiting times have been below standard for years - and continue to deteriorate. We can't continue to just nod and move on. I appreciate the issues but there are things that would help. Why aren't we doing them?
NI’s shocking cancer waiting times dropped &we all just moved on. The latest (DoH)stats show fewer than a third - 29.8% of patients began their treatment within the recommended 62 days well below the 95% target. @wesstreeting @LadyBasildon
