Here's Ellen Ferris setting out the actions Teenage Cancer Trust are calling for the new government to take to drive change for young people with cancer. In her words - lets get cracking!

Our response to the King's Speech 🗣 Today's #KingsSpeech marks a positive start to improving health services in England but this must include the needs of young people with cancer. teenagecancertrust.org/about-us/news/…

A reminder that there are just 5 more days to apply for my maternity cover! I would love to hand the reins over to someone amazing 🤩

A great start to Labour Conference, meeting with Becky Gittins MP to talk about why Teenage Cancer Trust do what we do! (We also spent some time discussing her excellent outfit 💃🏼)

Always lovely meeting with Bambos Charalambous. Today we spoke about access to clinical trials and psychological support for young people with cancer, and what we can do to improve young peoples experiences 🌟

Juliet in our team had a great meeting today with Oliver Ryan MP, raising awareness of the issues teenagers and young adults with cancer face from the point of diagnosis. Conference has been such a great opportunity to meet new MPs like Oliver, and to talk about this vital work!

Thank you Lilian Greenwood for chatting today. It's always so great meeting with those familiar with our work, with a unit in their constituency, to talk about what we are doing to help young people.

Really please we've extended the deadline for applications to my mat cover. This is a great role for any public affairs professionals looking to work or move into the health/cancer world. Even better, its part time and flexible! More info here: linkedin.com/jobs/view/4032…

This afternoon we welcomed Neil Gray MSP to one of our units in Glasgow to see the facilities, meet our team and some of the young people we support. We discussed specialist psychological support for young people with cancer across Scotland and how to ensure this is accessible.

We’re frustrated with repeating the words “and young people”. Here’s why – and here’s what the Government can do this Teenage and Young Adult Cancer Awareness Month to change things… (a 🧵 thread)

The Government must listen to the voices of young people or risk leaving them behind. Follow this link: teenagecancertrust.org/pledge to sign our open letter and add your name to our #AndYoungPeople campaign.
