Good to see survivorship and late effects listed as a pressure point. Studies clearly show cancer survivors have poorer long-term health that those without cancer and that post treatment support is a postcode lottery for access to specialist late-effects services. @PRDA_uk
How do we create space to pause, reflect & restore in our busy healthcare lives?
Meet Circles, a fantastic initiative from @empathymuseum@EM_HealthPsych@AbbyHollick
Designed for nurses, & adapting to include all of us.

Good to see mention of the cancer nursing workforce in the recent NHSE Cancer Programme update, restating their commitment that every person diagnosed with cancer will have access to a CNS or SW - 'underlining the importance of growing this workforce'. https://t.co/noxNZmwxPX
