Join us in Stockholm for the I.S.P.O. 20th World Congress 2025! An event merging science and practice, hosted by ISPO National Member Societies of Sweden, Norway, the UK, and the Netherlands.
I really enjoyed this morning joining the #CDTPandOConference23. I was nervous of travel and my capacity due to health issues but it went smoothly. Managed to stay all morning and heard great presentations 😀

METUPUK is a patient advocacy group that aims to improve outcomes for those living with #metastaticbreastcancer. We want to see MBC downgraded from an incurable to a chronic illness.

It was #NationalCancerCNSDay & we are thankful for those who do support MBC patients 💙
But it would be great if ALL #metastaticbreastcancer patients actually HAD a CNS to support them!
THAT is still a problem!
Do you know that in Wales - the WHOLE of Wales - they just have THREE CNS’s?
Up to recently they only had ONE & it was through campaigning by @TassiaHaines & her supporters they got 2 more.
Laura Ashurst our #METUPUK member didn’t have a CNS for 14 years! Zero support for her.
This is unacceptable & has been in reports time & time again yet still not addressed.
Do you have a CNS? Everyone should have that support.
Another example where MBC patients are failed. Yet it’s suppose to be a priority…
