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

#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

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

I wonder if patients know that their #oncologists also get #scanxiety the day before follow up clinic? We are also desperate to know if you responded to treatment, if you’re in remission, or if we need to have the difficult conversation about what comes next.

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-del…
We’re not delivering a first world cancer service and we need to talk about it - Lucy Gossage
