The weekly cancer MDT meeting can cause treatment delays, result in poor quality decisions, and waste clinicians’ time, say @tomroques and colleagues.

It’s time for a fresh approach

Current commissioning and funding structures are stifling innovation and causing unequal access to innovative cancer treatments ❌

We're urging the government to seize the NHS Cancer Plan as an opportunity to change this.

“One of the problems can be that it overdiagnoses things and makes you do unnecessary treatments.”

@halliday_kath, outgoing president of the @RCRadiologists warns AI tools don’t currently save time for most radiologists and can risk overdiagnosis

Multidisciplinary team working will be increasingly essential as cancer care becomes more complex.

We're urging the Government to use the upcoming National Cancer Plan for England to kick-start reform of how cancer MDTs work.

The introduction of Physician Associates in the NHS has raised serious concerns among some of our members.

We support several changes the Leng Review has proposed, but there's still work to be done to define how PAs work with our specialties.

“Patients are being failed by a chronic lack of radiologists and oncologists.

Despite the best efforts of NHS staff, there aren’t enough doctors to ensure prompt, safe and effective care – and the outlook is bleak."

Our President @halliday_kath in the @Independent today 👇

@_hollycameron Still here - missing the good old days and finding the timeline is increasingly serving me up a load of crap !

[The Royal College of Radiologists @RCRadiologists]

“It is a false economy to be spending over £200m of NHS funds outsourcing radiology work to private companies, and evidence of our failure to train and retain the amount of NHS radiologists we need.”

Our President @halliday_kath in the @guardian today: https://t.co/92wQ4Hih1H

[Rose Gray @_RoseGray]

@DrEilidhMaria Yes 100%

[Rose Gray @_RoseGray]

Excited to be launching our AI polling research today - thanks to the team and @JLPartnersPolls, some fascinating findings which should inform how we approach the rollout of AI in our specialties.

You can read more about it here too: https://t.co/M20ub2YP3T

[The Royal College of Radiologists @RCRadiologists]

Public opinion is clear: doctors must oversee the use of AI in the NHS.

Our latest polling shows that people support AI – and they want clinicians to lead.

@shaunewalsh @CRUK_Policy Love this!!

[The Royal College of Radiologists @RCRadiologists]

🧵We were devastated to hear of the error in processing rankings for radiology specialty training applications. This will undoubtedly be hugely difficult for the many doctors awaiting news, in a year where there is such heavy competition (1/3) ⬇️
