Very thankful to have my piece about our Macmillan Primary Care Navigator project so far published 💚 #sharinggoodpractice #macmillan #personalisedcare #wandsworth #livingwithandbeyondcancer @MacmillanLondon @macmillancancer

Most deaths from breast cancer are caused by secondary breast cancer. Dr Leo Carlin wants to understand how the immune system is involved in breast cancer spreading to the lungs, to discover new ways to prevent this from happening. breastcancernow.org/breast-cancer-…

Word of the day, at this point every year, has to be ‘scurryfunging’ (19th century US dialect): the frantic tidying up/attempt to achieve a semblance of order that takes place just before guests arrive.

Fantastic news! NICE has approved trastuzumab deruxtecan (Enhertu) for use on the Cancer Drugs Fund. This is for patients with HER2 positive secondary breast cancer after 1 or more prior anti-HER2 treatments.

🙋‍♀️Nearly a week into a horrid case of #covid despite all my jabs, but never having had it before - how are cases being tracked? I've only see where to report a case if you used an NHS lateral-flow, not one bought privately.

I'm proud to have trained as a #nurse & continue to work with nurses in the the yrs since I decided to lapse my registration. Nursing is an incredible profession but can be SO tough - nurses need appropriate support, recognition, resources & compensation 💜 #fairpayfornursing

@monzo I'm sadly going round and round in circles on chat in an attempt to make simple updates to my personal information - is there no-one I can speak to on the phone please?

If you have a trip or a fall in public, pretend you meant to do to avoid any embarrassment.

We ask people to bravely seek help for their mental distress. But what awaits them when they do? Most get 7mins with a GP & a prescription. Some, a couple of IAPT 'therapy' sessions after a long wait, a few a psych-referral. Let’s be honest about what accessing ‘care’ looks like.

Lots of chat on here today about the ‘lack of evidence’ for #SocialPrescribing, following the publication of yet another study, so I thought I would make a few, hopefully obvious, points…

These are the points we'll keep making till we're blue in the face. Fashion isn't "affordable" if it's rinsing the planet and exploiting some of the world's poorest people. Make. Fewer. Clothes. Pay. People. Fairly.

The scariest thing you could go as this Halloween is overconsumption so please consider DIY-ing a costume using what you already have rather than buying something synthetic that will only be worn once 👻 🎃

Word of the morning is ‘thole’ (14th century): tolerance and forbearance, as towards other people’s feelings and points of view.

Access to an important drug to treat chronic and acute GvHD has been removed. Jakafi (ruxolitnib) was made available during the pandemic, helping stem cell transplant patients to avoid unnecessary trips to hospital. 1/2
