I'm head of service for oncology at one of the biggest acute NHS trusts in the UK. I've written some thoughts as to why we can't 'go faster, go further' and 'just say yes' as asked to by @NHSEngland.

Some reflections on the challenges of oncology leadership in a system where support roles are reducing, many of us work below our skillset & ambition outpaces delivery capacity.
When do we stop pretending everything is possible?
We can't keep saying yes. lucygossage.com/we-cant-keep…

Dr @lucygoss was the first keynote at our 2025 Retreat.
Oncologist, professional Ironman champion, and founder of @MOVEcharity, Dr Gossage also did her PhD at @CRUK_CI. 🏃🩺
Recalling this time, she said "completing a PhD and training for an Ironman are remarkably similar!"

For years, I’ve ended conference talks anticipating definitive trial data to confirm this. Now, that time has come.”
@lucygoss on how exercise can be medicine

A turning point in cancer care.
The CHALLENGE trial shows exercise after cancer treatment reduces recurrence by 28% and mortality by 37%.
If this were a drug, we’d prescribe it tomorrow.
It’s time we prescribe movement.

I rarely use twitter now but I came back on to share this. The first phase 3 RCT proving exercise reduces risk of cancer recurrence & is better than many drugs. Hope this triggers some funding to support people to be active in a way that works for them
