The return to Consultant life @TheChristieNHS after mat leave was never going to be easy but things like this really soften the blow - a beautiful hand made gift from a patient’s wife #knittingtwitter - incredible, thank you!

Yesterday it hit the news that in Nottingham we're currently not able to deliver a full chemotherapy service. This is my personal reflection on what it's like to work as an oncologist at the moment. Nottingham is not alone in this. lucygossage.com/were-not-deliv…

One of the emotions I struggle with most as an oncologist is guilt In trying to help, I still do harm, and cannot always discern therapeutic benefit So these beyond-gracious words from a patient’s widow are a balm to my queasy conscience Sometimes I wonder who’s treating whom

The whole #oncology workforce have performed miracles to keep cancer care going throughout the pandemic, but years of under-investment in staff will mean we cannot just keep going at this pace. All staff groups need more numbers - now. But we also need to change how we work
