Today I’m marking 35 years of caring for patients and families in Sheffield and beyond.
Sheffield has been my professional home for 35 years, and Weston Park Cancer Centre has been at the heart of that journey.

Well done Jo Mary and and Nellie - much needed.
The analysis is “unique in that we evaluated participants who began their treatment with robust functional status, demonstrating the association of treatment toxicities with functional decline is not limited to those already experiencing deficits.”

#QoLShare&Learn talking about the use of the national #CancerQualityOfLife survey data to guide improvements in psychosocial support, sleep, fatigue and menopause 🙌
A privilege to hear from Richard Berman and Helen Hyndman about the the development of Supportive Oncology #SuppOnc services in England 🙌👏 and how patient outcomes are significantly improving as well as better use of NHS resource
Powerful talk from Yvonne Anderson about the NE project on pelvic radiotherapy late effects with patient coproduction and crediting @prda.org.uk 🫶.
Huge increase in awareness of #PelvicRadiationDisease through the work of the project but ambitious to achieve a lot more 👏
Key messages from @lesleysmith.bsky.social :
#LWBC & #QoL remain on the national agenda
Many improvements evidenced through metrics
More work to do such as #CancerPrehab and #PhysicalActivity
Co production key to all improvement plans
Use your voice: submit your evidence to the cancer plan!!

I loved working in academia but felt the same and have been fortunate enough to be in a hybrid role for 15 years. There needs to be much more innovation and flexibility to develop hybrid roles. They encourage/achieve retention of experienced nurses in clinical practice... Good luck!
🙏 It really is!

I have a saintly, forgiving husband
So I feel much worse!
Mine was Spectacular Passport Failure discovered at the airport en route to my bucket list holiday - Christmas in Iceland; <3 months left before the expiry date. Boarding denied. Holiday Abandoned. Do I win? #ChristmasScrewUp
The closest I got to #Reykjavik this Christmas having been denied boarding. This Prize Plonker was unaware of the "3-months' expiry date prior to the actual expiry date" #Brexit rule. So instead it's @Iceland's bargains whilst the Blue Lagoon/Northern Lights/Golden Circle remains a pipe dream...😭
