Last day studying genomic medicine at the University of Birmingham. I’ve learnt so much and made some great friends. Thanks for all those who have helped me, now to pass on my new knowledge.

To illustrate pressures....of 190 adult chemo doses made last Friday, 110 could've been provided by outsourced suppliers on our framework. We now outsource only 6% of our chemo (25% historically). That's before we talk about ⬆️ in demand... @emsmith8 @DuncombeRob @BOPACommittee

Magnificent efforts to meet acute chemo & PN workload for BH w'end. Staff from across dept came to help (thanks @alyson_beckett). Here's Sam & Biruk who came from our prodn unit & made chemo +++. Outsourcing issues again.... NHS Aseptics are a jewel in the 👑. Treasure them 💚

A new Non-Invasive Pre-natal Diagnosis for retinoblastoma was added to the National Genomic Test Directory earlier his year. It will help clinicians to spot this rare form of eye cancer in the womb and potentially lead to better outcomes. #Genomics #ChildhoodCancerAwareness
NHS England@NHSEngland

'Given the tumours were quite severe when he was born, the fact he could be treated straight away definitely affected his outcome.' Babies, like Oscar, will have a new test that allows doctors to spot a rare form of eye cancer in the womb. 🤯england.nhs.uk/2022/05/babies…
