Superb summary of the challenges of cancer screening
Most positive results from routine cancer screenings are false, leading to needless follow-up scans, biopsies, and anxiety. A new generation of blood tests aims to detect cancer with far greater accuracy—and spare millions from unnecessary worry and harm.

The NHS is free at the point of use. But what if you can't afford to get there? No child or young person with cancer should have to worry about the cost of travelling to treatment. Email your MP and ask them to support a Young Cancer Patient Travel Fund: https://t.co/8ZixwBTBOf

With the abolition of #nhsengland the #NHS is right at the top of the political agenda. This makes it a great time to recommend my book - Side Effects - if you really want to understand the challenges and opportunities. The Observer thought it was brilliant. I won’t argue..

"When a family learns their child has cancer, the last thing on their minds should be how they are going to afford to get to hospital. Yet, we know young people and families face an extra £250 a month on average to travel to treatment." @RachelKirbyR

What a night! An Evening with Phil Dunster & Friends brought together an amazing cast of performers to raise money for children and young people with cancer. Thanks to @BBCNews for this article about the reason behind the event:
