Totally agree - and more than that: also time to develop, understand and safely deliver tomorrow's new treatments. It's a dilemma - moral distress if we don't; benefit but risk of overload/burnout if we do it all. Workforce plans must include time for innovation/research etc.
To keep delivering modern cancer care we need a joined up, realistic strategy of how to actually deliver them in a totally overwhelmed system -the oncologist exhaustion(CO&MO) is shared by onc nurses and pharmacists too @RCRadiologists @ACPUK @UKONSmember @BOPACommittee

So true, Amy. Change takes time (>1 meaning to that!). Initially there's an increase in demands on clinical staff - on top of existing clinical workload. We know many are struggling with high workload, workforce problems, burnout. Need system 'slack' to get benefits from change.
