@lucykflanders @KRASKickers Do patients with mPDAC in your centre get routine KRAS mutation testing? Aware mNSCLC is privileged in having molecular profiling for all as standard

@ACortelliniMD @TheLancetOncol @Brunet3Leon Amazing work Alessio & team - what we do in practice is swap PPI to anti-H2 as soon as referred to us; do you have any data on whether that helps reverse the trend?

@BalazsHalmosMD @NarjustFlorezMD @IASLC Listened to it today - great podcast, covered a lot of matters I am faced with as a fellow interested in building a career in thoracic oncology - thank you!

@DrEilidhMaria Avanti do an NHS staff discount is you are able to depart from a location they serve? Appreciate they don’t do Chester. Manchester to Euston is £26, think Liverpool to Euston even less - then avoid Victoria/Gatwick Express and go to Brighton via St Pancras and Thameslink

Proposed by people that don't fundamentally understand healthcare. You are often treating people at the lowest point in their lives - this requires empathy, compassion and care. Removing the humanity from the treatment of patients, removes the humanity out of healthcare

[🇺🇦 Dr Kevin O'Kane 🇺🇦 @DrOKaneAgain]

We need fewer medical school places, full medical employment, and real, evidence-based medical workforce planning.

[🇺🇦 Dr Kevin O'Kane 🇺🇦 @DrOKaneAgain]

If you want more doctors from working class homes @wesstreeting you need to make medicine an attractive career.

Graduating with £100,000+ of student debt, then earning 40% less than your assistant is not a great incentive.

[@medicalmodelwithabriochebun @medicalmodelbri]

Shurrup @wesstreeting

You can afford it to pay a Dr in their 4th year - ST2 less than a newly qualified physician assistant who will be paid £58k .

This is a political choice

@richard_morland @ExplosiveEnema2 @TexMitch9 @BMA_James_Steen @sashnhs I don’t think it can be made “safe” when you consider that PAs and ACPs are a wholly unnecessary risk that we don’t need to take.

The entire premise of them is illogical.

[Callum Williams @cmwilliams99]

“If pay becomes linked to inflation for NHS staff, the NHS in unaffordable”

So what Dean is saying is that NHS staff should just accept pay cuts to fund our healthcare.

If the system can’t afford not to cut staff’s pay, it clearly not working

Colleagues working in thoracic oncology 📢
I'm sharing a survey from the LUCINAE group (@MImbimbo1) on fertility and pregnancy in patients with lung cancer, an area that remains largely underserved 👇🏻
The project aims to capture current knowledge and clinical practice.
Your input would be very valuable, it only takes a few minutes.
