Today, we're launching our new #bloodcancermanifesto. Together, blood cancers are the UK's fifth most common cancer, the most common childhood cancer, and the 3rd biggest cancer killer. Read our Strategy for Blood Cancer to see our asks of the next UK Gov. bloodcanceralliance.org/mani…
We’re speaking with #OneCancerVoice today and have added our name to this letter. We’re pleased the Gov has committed to a new national cancer plan - but it must be fully funded and ensure it serves all cancer types including those that are harder-to-treat and harder-to-diagnose
.@CR_UK is speaking with #OneCancerVoice in signing this joint letter to The Times with 50+ colleagues across the cancer community
We welcome and support @wesstreeting's cancer plan - a significant step forward. If it is to deliver, then it must be a plan backed with funding

As members of the Blood Cancer Alliance, we support the call for @GOVUK to take urgent action to address the issues faced by blood cancer patients.

Together, as part of the Blood Cancer Alliance, we are calling on the Government to take meaningful action to improve NHS blood cancer care. @MyelomaUK
#Myeloma #BloodCancer @BloodCancerA
Together, blood cancers are the 5th most common cancer. But to date, cancer policymaking hasn't addressed the significant issues in delays to diagnosis and equitable access to treatment and care. This must change in the forthcoming NHS 10 Yr Plan and accompanying cancer plan.
We have signed a joint patient org statement on the @NHSEngland Commercial Framework Consultation. We want to see a more comprehensive, patient-centred review that produces real solutions to the challenge of barriers to access to new and effective treaments for our patients.

Lots of food for thought at #LAB24 fringe event hosted by BCA member @AnthonyNolan - we need to ensure NHS readiness to deliver the next generation of cell and gene therapies to secure better outcomes for blood cancer patients #HCF24

It is vital that the UK & Ireland increase enrolments into clinical trials for cancer- research shows that where clinical trials are done, outcomes can often be better & in areas like blood cancer & glioblastomas where investment in research has lagged behind, we must catch up

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.
