@ClaireBurden6 @BDA_Oncology @alysiaburrows @AndrianaP11 @KrishnaKholiaRD @BDA_HeadandNeck Same for us, joint decision with no formal pathway and we don’t 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, we’ve had a long wait for peg removals but hoping to get a nurse endoscopy list to remove them soon!

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 ☺️ #DW2023

Cara has been to the ward to review our inpatients whilst I’ve been catching up on referrals and prepping our clinic for this afternoon. Always good to have a fully stocked ONS cupboard! - Annie

Yesterday we had Jack from @AtosMedicalUK educate the team on their trachy and lary products - identifying work to be done around pathways for product choices. Very informative- thanks so much Jack! 💭💡

Thanks to Thompsons Uk Limited @simonkshields for donating £150 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! 🙏

[PETNECK 2 @PETNECK2]
