Today's #CancerWaitingTimes for England show that patients continue to face delays, despite the best efforts of NHS staff.

DSIT, UKRI and devolved bodies, should:
⬆️ drive improvements to research culture, through the REF and narrative CVs.
📊 collate sources of UK research workforce EDI data to understand inequalities.
👩‍🔬 tackle disparities to develop the UK R&D workforce needed to deliver the UK Industrial Strategy.

The government can learn from our approach – to collect better data to enable more evidence-based initiatives to address gaps and improve culture.

Beating cancer is a huge challenge.

So we need to attract and retain the most talented researchers from a broad range of backgrounds, who can help to support innovative ideas so that more people affected by cancer benefit from our discoveries.
