We're pleased to see this paper bmcprimcare.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11… on how diagnostic uncertainty in primary care can be addressed through practices like effective safety netting. Diagnostic uncertainty is a very significant issue for blood cancer due to its vague and non-specific symptoms.

Big loss for Blood Cancer UK. Chris has made the blood cancer community’s voice heard more loudly - including through the pandemic and with this weeks launch of the Blood Cancer Action Plan. Brilliant appointment for @cancer52org

Very engaged and productive meeting with Neil Gray MSP this morning focused on improving care for blood cancer patients in Scotland, building on Blood Cancer UK Action Plan. Great to hear more about plans to improve diagnosis, develop workforce and equal access to trials

We know that people with blood cancer are particularly vulnerable to severe illness from covid because parts of their immune system don’t work as well We're proud to be funding two new covid research projects, to understand more about how we can support people with blood cancer.
