We're up for an award in the cross-border/international category at the Irish Healthcare Awards this evening in Dublin for our work on financial discrimination against cancer survivors @IrishCancerSoc@AlCRIproject@CancerFocusNI@HDR_UK Fingers crossed!
What is the hidden impact of #Cancer on patients and their #Caregivers?
From financial inequalities for survivors to the need to transform supportive care, our researchers are working to expose the challenges faced and find solutions to improve the lives of those diagnosed and the people who care for them.

1/2 Delighted @Inter_Trade CEO Margaret Hearty announced our new All-Island Oncology Innovation Cluster "a 6 year Flagship programme" as she said @#TCI2025 It will be led by great colleague @WaterfordMafia & myself - very exciting for oncology/digital heath sectors on this island
After @Inter_Trade CEO Margaret Hearty announced our 6 year All-Island Oncology Innovation Cluster "flagship programme" (her words not mine) @ #TCI2025 opening session, I'm delighted to share our vision today in "Clusters Without Borders: All-Island Collaboration in Action"
"This conference was all about collaboration because we know that universities across this island face very similar challenges. We also know that we can do more if we work together." (Professor Sir Ian Greer, @QUBVChancellor).
We reflect on last week's Universities Ireland Conference and how stronger collaboration between institutions will benefit our students, society and the all-island economy.

A new All-Island cancer report has been launched at the Inaugural All-Island Cancer Summit, which highlights the life-saving and economic benefits of harnessing the power of data.
“Our research highlights how a digital transformation, from paper to electronic, from byte to bedside, is catalysing a revolution in how we use health data to achieve superior cancer outcomes and drive economic benefit.
"But we will only succeed together, sharing data and pre-empting the barriers that threaten to derail this digital revolution.”(@QUBCancerProf)
