Totally agree - and more than that: also time to develop, understand and safely deliver tomorrow's new treatments. It's a dilemma - moral distress if we don't; benefit but risk of overload/burnout if we do it all. Workforce plans must include time for innovation/research etc

[Anna Olsson-Brown @AOlssonBrown]

To keep delivering modern cancer care we need a joined up, realistic strategy of how to actually deliver them in a totally overwhelmed system -the oncologist exhaustion(CO&MO) is shared by onc nurses and pharmacists too @RCRadiologists @ACPUK @UKONSmember @BOPACommittee

Great to see this recognised at such a wonderful celebration event. Even better to see the real difference it makes to patients with advanced lung cancer. Thank you to everyone involved @Lung_Ca_Wales

@Liz_ORiordan We agree that the UK urgently needs a comprehensive plan to support the radiology and cancer workforce. In our new census reports, we've set out a three-point plan for how the next government can recruit, train and retain the doctors we need: https://t.co/wMX5V08zBO

Our census reports help influence changes to improve your working lives and benefit your patients.

We will continue to advocate on your behalf, represent your views, and build the reputation of clinical radiology and clinical oncology, both nationally and locally.

[The Royal College of Radiologists @RCRadiologists]

Our 2023 census reports should act as a wake-up call for the next government 🚨

They reveal dangerous shortages in doctors essential in the diagnosis and treatment of #cancer.

[The Royal College of Radiologists @RCRadiologists]

Our doctors are essential in diagnosing and treating cancer, yet they feel more overworked, burnt out and demoralised than ever before.

We must commit to stemming the flow of highly trained doctors leaving the NHS and invest in retention measures.

[Mick Button @DrMickButton]

So true, Amy. Change takes time (>1 meaning to that!). Initially there's an increase in demands on clinical staff - on top of existing clinical workload. We know many are struggling with high workload, workforce problems, burnout. Need system 'slack' to get benefits from change

[Mick Button @DrMickButton]

What a team!

[i-Lab R&I Centre / Intensive Learning Academy @iLab_Swansea]

Yes - that's Tom and Sion giving it large at ISPIM - both part of the Innovation ILA massif. Big up to @WGHealthandCare @WG_innovation @WGEconomy learning and sharing together with the world of innovation.
