Will you add your name to our letter to the new UK government and ask them to make #myeloma a priority? We’re making amazing progress in the research and treatment of myeloma but we need to go further, faster. 👉 https://t.co/T4qaYVmnfB

Great to see the research benefits of the PET-CT scanner already being realised. Thanks to our supporters for making it possible for us to buy this for @royalfreenhs. As well as speeding up diagnosis and treatment, this opens the door to amazing new research opportunities. 💙
Our new PET scanner will enable us to explore new avenues of research. Find out how Beverley and her colleagues are seeking to harness the new technology to help improve patient care. Read more here 👇 https://t.co/WKxSBOab8j

So great to see our first patients treated through our new Quadra PET scanner 👏 Not only we will be able to scan more patients, more quickly, but also drive forward our specialist clinical research in new areas including cancer. Brilliant work and big thank you @RoyalFreeChty 👍
Patients at the Royal Free Hospital are now benefitting from a revolutionary new PET scanner – the first of its kind in the UK. The new scanner, funded by @RoyalFreeChty, means faster diagnoses and less radiation for patients with cancer. More here 👇 https://t.co/HkOwYlNFRK

I am delighted that the Royal Free London has found itself yet again at the forefront of global research into the challenges of treating and curing cancer with the UK’s first Total Body PET scanner. Thanks to the generosity of the @RoyalFreeChty for making this possible.
Cancer patients at the Royal Free London will be the first in the UK to benefit from a new positron emission tomography (PET) scanner. The scanner, funded by @RoyalFreeChty, is more powerful than standard machines and will allow scans of the whole body 👇 https://t.co/njQEij4H0T

No one wants to be in A&E! But when the worst DOES happen, our emergency teams are there to care for us. That’s why we’re planning a raft of improvements to help staff and patients in emergency departments across @RoyalFreeNHS. 🧵
