@ClaireBurden6@BDA_Oncology@alysiaburrows @AndrianaP11 @KrishnaKholiaRD@BDA_HeadandNeck Same for us, joint decision with no formal pathway and we donโt wait for a PET, only had a handful have to go back in from memory. RIGs come out faster than PEG just due to ease, weโve had a long wait for peg removals but hoping to get a nurse endoscopy list to remove them soon!
This week, June 5-9th 2023, marks Dieticians week #WeAreDietetics. Our dieticians are crucial and integral to the Head and Neck cancer patient journey.

Dietitians & SLT photo in clinic, we just have our oncologist and ENT consultants present today so not quite as busy a clinic as usual. Our clinics are consultant led, with a separate therapy room for additional consultations if needed. A busy but fulfilling clinic โบ๏ธ #DW2023
Lunch ๐ฅ We are lucky to have a break room to help us take time from our desks and recharge for the afternoon. ft. resources from our dietitians week pack! #DW2023#WeAreDietetics
Just finished MDT, discussing our new and post treatment patients. As a core member of the MDT we attend every week. Now for lunch before clinic! #DW2023#WeAreDietetics
Cara has been to the ward to review our inpatients whilst Iโve been catching up on referrals and prepping our clinic for this afternoon. Always good to have a fully stocked ONS cupboard! - Annie

Thanks to Thompsons Uk Limited @simonkshields for donating ยฃ150 worth of boogie boards to the Head & Neck Cancer Service. They help patients communicate on ICU & ward B14 after surgery affecting their speech & voice. They are invaluable & help patients have a voice. Thank you! ๐
