@bluelightcard very disappointing communications/ ability to communicate with your team to get a response to action my name change on my card, been trying since may!
This week's #TeamOfTheWeek is the Acute Oncology Team who co-ordinate service and improve care for cancer patients requiring urgent support. The team do this by supporting the treating teams, patients and their families at the earliest opportunity. #ThankYou for all you do ๐
We have to re-name DNACPR to something more digestible like โAllow Natural Deathโ it would help shift viewpoints and difficult conversations with families
ULHT team of the week is our very own Oncology Assessment Unit ๐ we are so proud of our team. Avoiding hospital admissions where possible for our cancer patients. A well needed and well used service. Stay tuned for stats since our opening in winter 2019 #cancerservices
Scanxiety is real!!! Supporting patients who are awaiting scan results, especially within an acute oncology circumstance can always be a challenge ๐
I wonder if patients know that their #oncologists also get #scanxiety the day before follow up clinic? We are also desperate to know if you responded to treatment, if youโre in remission, or if we need to have the difficult conversation about what comes next.
I want EVERY cancer patient to read this article. I want them to know that itโs not their fault. They shouldnโt blame themselves for not finding it earlier. We need more money for #stage4 research. Please RT and share โฆ#bekindtoyourself https://t.co/QJEFO2us9N

Today we said goodbye (with pizza and flowers)to our wonderful consultant who came back post retirement to support us through the pandemic. It was fabulous having her back on the team, she will be greatly missed but we hope she can now relax and enjoy once lockdown lifts!
