No return to Stormont equals No implementation of NI Cancer Strategy equals No hope for cancer patients. How long must we wait for implementation of NI Cancer Strategy (now sitting for nearly 2 years on shelf gathering dust) given overwhelming evidence that strategy saves lives

Ireland needs to get its act together QUICKLY. Digital health is the key to delivering 21st century cancer care. How much longer must Irish patients wait? Lacking a national e health record implementation is like fighting cancer with one hand behind your back
@IrishCancerSoc
There is still “no financial allocation” for a national rollout of digital health records, politicians have been told, meaning the HSE is likely to be using paper systems until at least 2025

Need to work together in cancer research & care. It's not about politics, it's about patients. Cancer Knows No Borders. We need to compete not against each other but against our common enemy - cancer. Over to you Stormont & Leinster House

Looks like my analysis & presentation of evidence to Health and Social Care Committee's Future of Cancer Inquiry was spot on given what's just come out Yet more evidence that a "Major Conditions Strategy" rather than a Dedicated Cancer Strategy is bonkers

A New Year but Same Old Story. Smoke & mirrors data, cancer targets missed, no cancer plan for England & cancer plan for Northern Ireland sitting on shelf gathering dust. Radical rethink & rapid implementation is only way to go. Otherwise people will die

End Discrimination Against Cancer Survivors. Join us in Brussels today as we continue to fight for cancer survivors. As Francoise Meunier and I say in our article "We need laws that empower cancer survivors to live without the stress of financial toxicity"
Cancer is no longer a death sentence
🚫 Those who survive, however, often face various forms of financial discrimination
Europe's ‘
#RightToBeForgotten
’ law must ensure that survivors don’t have to reveal their previous diagnosis
