I’m an oncologist and I love my job. But I’m striking because I know first-hand that the NHS is failing our patients with cancer and I’m striking because I know first-hand that the NHS is failing its workforce. https://t.co/Liv26cn8Or #ConsultantsStrike

UK oncology departments are facing a critical lack of capacity to deliver systemic anti-cancer therapies (SACT) to patients.

That's why we, along with @ACPUK, @BOPACommittee and @UKONSmember, have written to @SteveBarclay outlining the challenge and requesting to meet.

@LizzySmyth1 This is fascinating. I haven’t been using Olanzapine but will definitely consider it. Do you use in all your OG/gastric patients on chemotherapy or just those with issues with appetite/low weight?

@theAliceRoberts Oh no! Watched with the kids for the first time last night and they loved it. 5 year thought it was ‘beautiful and interesting’ also she wanted your pink hair. Thanks for the show

A constant Government line on nurses’ pay, and on teachers’ pay is:

“We have followed the recommendations of the independent pay review boards”

Sounds good.

But are those boards independent?

Consider these 3 points…

If you want #TalkToTony I'd be happy to explain this complex issue.

@kermodeandmayo Half way through going to listen to the other half on the way hope. I’m so happy you’re back it’s made my day. Is there still going to be a top 10 (or more)?

The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money.

Take boots, for example…

@ShameenJaunoo interesting phase 2 data coming out of ASCO #GI22

[Sharlene Gill, MD, MPH, MBA, FASCO @GillSharlene]

Questionable benefit of periop chemo in dMMR esophagogastric cancers

➡️ GERCOR NEONIPIGA ph2 trial of peri-op IO presented by Dr Thierry Andre 🇫🇷
Intriguing 59% pCR 17/29 ✅
Does this open the door for surgery avoidance in this population 🤔

@BreastDocUK I switched to doing this after your talk earlier this year. Took a little getting used to but I think does improve communication and only positive patient feedback so far.

[Victoria Donovan @Vicitysplit]

@EwenGriffiths @ShameenJaunoo Not yet in ESHT difficult to see how immunotherapy fits with FLOT as SOC at the moment. Im sure it will come once we have the evidence.
