I'm head of service for oncology at one of the biggest acute NHS trusts in the UK. I've written some thoughts as to why we can't 'go faster, go further' and 'just say yes' as asked to by @NHSEngland.

Some reflections on the challenges of oncology leadership in a system where support roles are reducing, many of us work below our skillset & ambition outpaces delivery capacity.
When do we stop pretending everything is possible?
We can't keep saying yes. https://t.co/yzzAeNQe6B

Dr @lucygoss was the first keynote at our 2025 Retreat.

Oncologist, professional Ironman champion, and founder of @MOVEcharity, Dr Gossage also did her PhD at @CRUK_CI. 🏃🩺

Recalling this time, she said "completing a PhD and training for an Ironman are remarkably similar!"

From the tiny seed of an idea by @lucygoss 5k Your Way has grown into a UK and Ireland-wide community supporting thousands of people impacted by cancer to be more active. 🩵 Let’s keep moving and keep growing. ⭐️ @parkrunUK #moveagainstcancer #SaturdayVibes #movementmatters

@biffosmith14 Except it's not really free. The trial showed people need support and guidance. But it's def cheaper than a lot of drugs so would I'm sure get though NICE if it were

A turning point in cancer care.
The CHALLENGE trial shows exercise after cancer treatment reduces recurrence by 28% and mortality by 37%.
If this were a drug, we’d prescribe it tomorrow.
It’s time we prescribe movement.

A great blog from @MOVEcharity and @lucygoss on research at #ASCO25 about benefits of exercise during and after cancer treatment.

It reduces risk of patients dying, can prevent cancer returning or a new one developing💪https://t.co/bA44LMOyPv
