UK cancer death rates at record low. Research is saving lives. White text in a bold font sits in the top left hand corner. Underneath to the bottom right are icons of 3 test tubes filled with red and pink on a plain purple background.

“They’ve been researching cancer for decades, and there’s no change.”

We get comments like this a lot – but the reality is research 𝘪𝘴 making a difference.

Latest figures from our friends @cancerresearchuk.org show UK cancer death rates have fallen 29% since 1989 and 11% in the last decade.

Ooh look at @thetimes.com sports books of 2025. @lilycanter.bsky.social and I did not know this was happening until I started getting WhatsApp messages as Granny had spotted it. Not bad for a book that was rejected by multiple publishers who weren't interested in women's stories.

Always good to get updates from Philip Newland-Jones on diabetes care.

I think we're one or two bad polls away from someone in the government promising to deport any immigrants who won't get rid of their accent.

Someone really needs to take Starmer aside and have a quiet word about not being so bloody stupid.

Also there for DAY 2.
One of the best pharmacists around!
Catch him if you can!!! #PS25UK #PharmacyShow

Highlights for me:

- Meeting some @nhsconfed.org Alumni
- Catching with ex PCCLEs & my BFF @pharmrj.pharmsky.app
