Non-commercial clinical research (which includes charity-funded research) - as well as addressing patient priorities and developing new treatments and cures - has a huge benefit to the UK economy.
New @FrontierEcon report, commissioned by AMRC and @wellcometrust, showcases the many benefits of non-commercial clinical research. It reveals the ‘triple dividend’ this research brings to the UK: unlocking growth, supporting the NHS and improving lives. https://t.co/xbVGaqlUBl

Ruby's story of delayed cancer diagnosis was incredibly common amongst other teenagers we met going through cancer treatment. Quicker diagnosis will improve survival rates. Thank you to CCLG for sharing Ruby's story and for their #ChildCancerSmart campaign.
Emma Jones’ daughter, Ruby, was 17 when she died from non-Hodgkin lymphoma. She urges #HealthcareProfessionals to consider: “Could it be cancer?” 3 persistent symptoms, 3 GP visits, or 3 weeks of unexplained symptoms. Pick up the phone. https://t.co/mmFdMVAyUz
