For those of you who can access our intranet...major ePrescribing advance by the NCCP goes live in Galway http://pguhinfohub/2019/11/27/ncis-goes-live-with-triple-patient-safety-check/
A lovely celebration this afternoon to say farewell to our @DirectorNCCP after a trailblazing five years that included the 2017 National Cancer Strategy and huge work in cancer services. We wish him all the best!
@ciarakellydoc@IvanYatesNT Important debate yesterday. Here is the key @IrishCancerReg graph on new cervical cancer cases. What does it mean? Screening, since 2008-9, results in fewer cancers, fewer women requiring surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and associated side effects.
Important paper. Has to inform policy: Volume and in-hospital mortality after emergency abdominal surgery: a national population-based study https://t.co/URMK0GZAvQ
Training applications for both the Diagnostic and Radiation Oncology Programme are now OPEN. More information and the application process can be found here: https://t.co/9ZjYAWj9uv
@paulpharoah@WaterfordMafia@sorahill Interesting view. Equally applicable to the registry data from the other 5 countries? Population screening in Ireland for CRC commenced in 2014. No screening here for the other tumour types in the ICBP SURVMARK-2 paper. Personal bias, I work for both @hseNCCP & @IrishCancerReg
Important paper showing major improvements in survival rates. Due to strategic investment in specialist staff & services, as well as research-driven advances in diagnostic and treatment options. More required. (Credit to co-author Paul Walsh @IrishCancerReg)
Important @IARCWHO led study comparing cancer survival across some high income countries. Open and transparent comparison of cancer data internationally can benefit patients everywhere. @myESMO@ASCO@CancerAustralia @PHE_uk https://t.co/nAhdEejtR6
Looking forward also to working with such a dedicated team of clinicians and researchers across Ireland! Together we can improve outcomes for our patients by providing access to clinical trials #breastcancer#clinicaltrials@UCC@hopkinskimmel
