•Just a quarter (27%) of #lungcancer patients in England receive an early diagnosis. Read the UKLCC report on how to help drive improvements in standards of care and achieve our ambition of raising 5-year lung cancer survival rates to 25% by 2025. uklcc.org.uk

"Time and millimetres matter. Even in the early stages of #lungcancer the growth of a tumour during a patient’s wait for treatment can be hugely significant." Read our new report on how we can help improve standards of care for #lungcancer patients. uklcc.org.uk

Thanks to Walsall Healthcare staff who have spent today promoting the symptoms of sepsis to both colleagues and members of the public. These can include: feeling dizzy or faint, nausea and vomiting, and severe breathlessness to name a few! #WorldSepsisDay

A new workforce survey of English lung cancer nurse specialists linked to audit data of over 125,000 patients shows evidence of high workload pressures posing barriers to specialist nurses across hospitals irrespective of service factors - see sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
Thank you for all you do!

October 2017 we became a paperless service. The Lung Cancer CNS team utilise Somerset to document our clinical/non clinical activity. Clear to see how busy we are but importantly improves communication as the wider MDT can access patient updates. #betteroutcomes #patientsafety
I'll run it past the team tomorrow!
Replying to @LungCns
Thank you so much, maybe you should consider something similar for yourself, look out for our next one @Ayshia21 @hodgkissmtlc @JulieRo90717366
