#THISspace2025

A 2025 review in the Lancet (www.thelancet.com/journals/lan... shows that our current spending on new medicines skews overall health spend away from more effective interventions. But it looks like we are about to spend more on meds, thus depriving our population of more effective healthcare.

Our first session of the day 'Supportive Oncology the Big Picture' is underway.

Chaired by Prof Sam Ahmedzai, this session explores how
supportive oncology bridges acute, palliative, and long-term care helping every person affected by cancer receive the right support at the right time.

#UKASCC25

Prof Richard Berman Consultant in Supportive Oncology and Palliative Medicine at the Christie, shares how supportive oncology is transforming cancer care in the UK - focusing on personalised support, training, and innovation to help people live well with and beyond cancer.

#UKASCC25

Really enjoyed today’s conference sessions. (I’ve done a few BlueSky posts.)

So good to be among like minded people, but no illusions about the work we all have to do to be able to offer high quality supportive oncology to all that need it. Looking forward to the next 2 days UKASCC25

That’s a wrap on day one of UKASCC 2025 🙌

Thank you to all our speakers and delegates for making today a success.

Always great to hear from Dr Ollie Minton about ePROMs in cancer in Sussex using My Clinical Outcomes to monitor people longitudinally, improving quality of life and reducing urgent hospital admissions #UKASCC #cansky

Very interesting at #UKASCC from Prof Susanne Cruickshank from @royalmarsden.org re Fear of Cancer Recurrence (FCR) and a ‘MiniAfterC’ CBT intervention that nurses can deliver

#cansky

Great early morning session at #UKASCC conference. Particularly liked the description of a Supportive Oncology service in USA (Declan Walsh) but also how much effort (including fundraising) has to be made to keep services running - lessons to be learned for UK in trying to improve care

Fantastic programme - thank you to the organisers for such a breadth and depth of topics👏👏

(I hope a few people stay to the end on Friday for the ultimate highlight 😉😆)

For anyone who's wondering about this, particularly in the UK: yes, do email or message your Jewish friends with a word of support. It makes a huge amount of difference.

Many congratulations to the winner, runner up & finalists in the Cancer Experience of Care category 👏👏

So much work behind all these projects & so many more across the country, and as we can see from the Cancer Patient Experience Survey results, people affected by cancer are feeling the benefits 😀

I think it would do people good to spend more time looking at and thinking about this graph.
