Totally agree - and more than that: also time to develop, understand and safely deliver tomorrow's new treatments. It's a dilemma - moral distress if we don't; benefit but risk of overload/burnout if we do it all. Workforce plans must include time for innovation/research etc

To keep delivering modern cancer care we need a joined up, realistic strategy of how to actually deliver them in a totally overwhelmed system -the oncologist exhaustion(CO&MO) is shared by onc nurses and pharmacists too @RCRadiologists @ACPUK @UKONSmember @BOPACommittee

We agree that the UK urgently needs a comprehensive plan to support the radiology and cancer workforce. In our new census reports, we've set out a three-point plan for how the next government can recruit, train and retain the doctors we need: rcr.ac.uk/census2023

.@cardiffuni's flagship social sciences hub sbarc|spark has won a coveted Royal Society of Architects in Wales (@The_RSAW) Award.
The judges described sbarc|spark as a ‘place that exudes innovation and joy.’ - cardiff.ac.uk/news/view/2821…
#sbarc
ALT Image shows Professor Damian Walford Davies, Deputy Vice-Chancellor of Cardiff University. Behind him is a photo of the oculus staircase at sbarc. The quote alongside it reads: "More a culture than a building, sbarc|spark is no ivory tower, no citadel. It’s an open, storeyed forge, designed from the outset to enable serendipitous encounters and exchange between academics, entrepreneurs, and regional business – with that staggered, staggering central staircase unifying it all. We’re delighted the design has been recognised with an award."

Our 2023 census reports should act as a wake-up call for the next government 🚨
They reveal dangerous shortages in doctors essential in the diagnosis and treatment of #cancer.

Our doctors are essential in diagnosing and treating cancer, yet they feel more overworked, burnt out and demoralised than ever before.
We must commit to stemming the flow of highly trained doctors leaving the NHS and invest in retention measures.

So true, Amy. Change takes time (>1 meaning to that!). Initially there's an increase in demands on clinical staff - on top of existing clinical workload. We know many are struggling with high workload, workforce problems, burnout. Need system 'slack' to get benefits from change

Sad to hear of Professor Sir Mansel Aylward's passing today. A real thought leader across healthcare and innovation. I had the pleasure of working with him in the early days of the Bevan Commission, the Bevan Exemplar programme and the Life Sciences Hub Wales. Rest in Peace Sir.
