And this is in England where the NHS England offers free treatment. And still we see significant socioeconomic disparities. Major structural barriers to delivery of proper lung cancer care. Great work from Drs. Ruth Norris Rosie Dew Alastair Greystoke Adam Todd & Linda Sharp.

Unequal access to novel, life-saving 💊 is a global phenomenon. New 📝 from the UK shows that for lung cancer, those living in the most deprived areas were over 50% less likely to use novel therapy vs. those in the most affluent areas. #Pharmacoequity jto.org/article/S1556-…

Swapped Newcastle for Dublin’s sunny skies last week to explore medication adherence calculations ☀️ 💊 Thanks for the warm welcome at RCSI Caitriona Cahir, Marina & John E Hughes. Looking forward to working with you all further.
