Like Danielle Fairweather-Chan I would also like to be rich, but not famous 💅🏼 We need to make sure we are asking patients the right questions when using #PROMS #ESTRO24

A real honour to present alongside these wonderful ladies this morning, together providing guidance and evidence for the use of PROMs within clinical practice. A power trio (if I do say so myself!) ☢️ #ESTRO24

Nothing I love more than seeing amazing RTT’s taking the world by storm - advanced practice at its finest, putting patients at the centre of their work, leading the way forward. Take a bow Sabina Khan Will Kinnaird 👏☢️

So proud of the UCLH Radiotherapy/ Proton beam therapy RTTs, Physicists, and clinicians at #ESTRO24 Great posters and presentations from the UK!

2 talks, 2 posters and 1 chairing session - think I can say I completed #ESTRO24 ✅ Very much a career highlight and an honour that I could shed some light on routine PROM implementation and content validity 👩‍🏫

Stroke research can improve the lives of stroke survivors and their families. Already our researchers have helped to: ▪️ Recognise stroke as a medical emergency. ▪️ Find new and improved treatments. ▪️ Identify who is at most risk. To find out more: bit.ly/31tPomX

Tips for #WorldHypertensionDay 👇 Less salt More exercise Less stress More mindfulness Less caffeine More sleep Less alcohol More time... ⌛ High blood pressure is a leading cause of stroke. Monitor your blood pressure regularly to keep your heart healthy and live longer!

Haemorrhagic strokes are caused by a bleed on (or in) the brain & account for 15% of all strokes. Common causes include: ▪️ High blood pressure ▪️ Irregular blood vessels in the brain ▪️ Aneurysm To find out more about causes and treatments, visit: bit.ly/3Ctqt2I

Good to see survivorship and late effects listed as a pressure point. Studies clearly show cancer survivors have poorer long-term health that those without cancer and that post treatment support is a postcode lottery for access to specialist late-effects services. PRDA UK

It was a privilege to welcome the Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Health and Social Care Secretary Wes Streeting to UCLH this week to learn more about our #protonbeamtherapy service and hear from our staff about their ideas for the future of the #NHS. buff.ly/3MKQFKs

A new study from UCLH and UCL highlights the urgent need to focus on non-motor outcomes such as fatigue, anxiety, and reduced social participation to improve survivors’ quality of life and reduce care needs. Read more: buff.ly/3AtYEZM #Research #newstudy

🗣️We need to continue to bridge the gap in radiotherapy between clinical outcomes and patient experiences to ensure that treatments not only work but also genuinely improve patients' #qualityoflife

I agree with Richard that we will only make progress on #LivingWithAndBeyondCancer with parity of esteem in research. For starters, how about if cancer treatment research can’t happen without parallel research into personalised management of likely acute/chronic side effects?

A really impactful day of discussions at the NCL cancer conference today, which was followed by Sabina Khan and me coming 2nd in poster presentation awards! Improving patient experience is at the forefront of our research #UCLH ☢️
