So proud of our new immunotherapy service! – at Glenfield, England
Two specialist nurses have been recruited to help to lead a new Immunotherapy Toxicity service, strengthening oncology care within our hospitals. Based at the LRI, Laura Hunt and Jackie O'Sullivan provide support to patients who are receiving immunotherapy to treat their cancer.

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. lucygossage.com/my-reasons-f… #ConsultantsStrike

Useful to know for the Onc trainees @_ClareProctor
A plea to all trainees. If you’re in a specialty where requesting a PEG tube is likely to be part of your practice, then please go and watch an insertion. If you work in @Leic_hospital please contact me and I can arrange to accommodate you.

#CallTheMidwife Is completely underrated. It consistently tackles difficult subjects sensitively Miscarriage at work whilst caring for someone else - having to decide between caring for urself or the patient - it’s happening to lots of HCP.

On World Cancer Day we’re launching a new app, to support people affected by cancer. It’s been designed by the local NHS especially for people in LLR. We know that cancer affects all aspects of a person’s life as well as their family’s and that’s why we’ve developed the app.

1 in 4 pregnancies end in loss but, currently, there’s no way of knowing for certain how many people are facing the heartbreak of miscarriage. We're launching an online record of loss to show the true scale of what's being experienced across the UK. #ChangeTheMiscarriageStory

"This is a very significant moment. We have an intervention that can stop a miscarriage, giving hope to thousands of families." – Prof @arricoomarasamy, Director of our National Centre for Miscarriage Research.
It's being recommended that women who have previously miscarried are treated with a hormone in early pregnancy. The health watchdog NICE says progesterone could lead to 8,450 more births each year in the UK. bbc.co.uk/actionline/ bbc.in/3r4W1q1
