We're proud to see the government welcome #ChildCancerSmart's new guidance for GPs.
With funding from @NIHRresearch, it aims to shorten diagnosis times for under-18s with abdominal tumours - supporting England's #NationalCancerPlan to improve #EarlyDiagnosis 👇🏼 @DHSCgovuk
The government has welcomed new guidance to help GPs spot the signs of childhood abdominal cancers sooner.
The Child Cancer Smart campaign is led by @cclguk and supported with funding from an NIHR Doctoral Award. It has launched referral guidelines and decision support tools for healthcare professionals.

Great to be able to contribute to @APPGCancerCYP this evening, thinking about the children and young people element of the upcoming national cancer plan, and what happens after it’s published
"This is a starting point" @ashleysgamble notes the importance of accountability in the plan, and how it must address the psychosocial and medical impacts of cancer on children and young people

Delighted to be asked to speak this earlier this week at @CwC_UK Research Conference and share my (somewhat single minded and bossy) thoughts on collaboration and how much of a bigger impact we could achieve as funders…

…by working more closely, aligning strategies, and thinking about deeper relationships than ad-hoc co-funding (which is great, but is just the start).
