Smokers can feel worse after cancer treatment than non-smokers & this can last as long as 6 months post-treatment. In contrast, smokers who quit before treatment starts have a similar experience to non-smokers. Get help to stop smoking: buff.ly/3044AD8 #stoptober

Although many non-smokers develop bladder cancer, smoking greatly increases a person’s risk of developing it. If you need support to stop smoking - visit the NHS Quit Smoking resource, here: buff.ly/3044AD8 #BladderCancer #ABCUK #StopSmoking #QuitSmoking

Surgical innovation goes beyond tech—it’s about better care for patients & the teams who treat them. On our visit to Cambridge, we saw world-leading research, advanced training & vital wellbeing initiatives like Doctors for Doctors, supporting surgeons to provide the best care.
