This is Mariano Barbacid, a Spanish cancer researcher who recently made the news after finding a cure for an aggressive form of pancreatic cancer in mice. His lab developed a new triple therapy regimen targeting the KRAS cancer pathway, implicated in 90% of pancreatic cancers. The combination of daraxonsib, a RAS(ON) inhibitor, afatinib (EGFR/HER2 inhibitor) and SD36 (a selective STAT3 PROTAC) led to complete elimination of tumour cells over a 200 day study period, bringing much needed hope to this often devastating condition.
Dear Alfie,
My mother died recently in an NHS university hospital after a battle with cancer. On the ward she was looked after by members of the Royal Army Medical Services. She raved about them. Said they had ‘incredible dedication, compassion and skill’. My mother herself had been a QRANC so knew what good nursing looked liked. They took care of her and me until her last breath and I am ever so grateful to them. The Royal Army Medical Service is delivering outstanding care in our civilian hospitals every single day, I’m not sure many soldiers know that, but they should. Their service goes beyond the battlefield and they are true heroes in scrubs. I wrote to their commanding officer thanking them. Grateful if you could amplify my thanks #RAMS #thankful
The absolute relief of submitting my final assignment for the Fundamentals of General Practice Nursing course! Grateful for all I’ve learned and so excited to be starting my new job soon! 🙌💙
FOST begins. ⚓️💥
Today HMS DUNCAN sailed, checked systems, fired every gun, for exercise saved a manoverboard with the sea boat & for exercise dealt with a small fire onboard
Why? Because readiness isn’t optional—it’s earned

It was great to meet colleagues completing the Staffordshire General Practice Nursing Foundation School training programme yesterday.
GPN's play such a critical public health role, so thank you for everything that you do🙏

The last few months of learning how to be a civilian and a practice nurse have been wobbly to say the least. However I really feel like I'm settling into the role now and absolutely love it! ❤️
A pioneering educational initiative for #GeneralPracticeNurses has received strong endorsement following an independent evaluation.

As we head towards Remembrance weekend, please remember to be kind. If you see a women wearing medals on her left- don’t ask her if they are hers, don’t question her integrity. Those medals are hers and like many others she will be proud to wear them #Remembrance#wornwithpride
@StN_Freda Might be worth asking? I'm constantly getting emails from agencies (i think from indeed). Just obviously make sure the support is there. Good luck, I'm sure something will come up soon!
Please join us in welcoming Cohort 2 of the Staffordshire GPN Foundation School.
15 new nurses in Staffordshire! We're looking forward to watching them grow both in their roles and as inspiring human beings 🤩
The future for Staffordshire GP nursing is bright! ✨✨
