Despite clinical consensus that PERT is crucial for people with pancreatic cancer, & recommendations by NICE, only half are being prescribed PERT.  We are joining Pancreatic Cancer UK’s campaign for PERT to be made UK-wide priority in pancreatic cancer care! #TransformLivesPrescribe

Really pleased to see the first output from our RICOCHET national pancreatic cancer audit. Variation and underuse of PERT despite NICE guidance. Many patients are wasting away and suffering needlessly. Thank you to all Collaborators, trainees and steering group

Despite being recommended by NICE, 50% of pancreatic cancer patients miss out on this readily-available tablet that could help them to build vital strength for treatment. Please join our #TransformLivesPrescribe campaign and call on NHS decision makers to change this 👇👇👇

Fantastic piece in ITV News featuring our supporter Claire who is backing our #TransformLivesPrescribe campaign. After being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer at 27, Claire talks about the importance of PERT being prescribed to pancreatic cancer patients. itv.com/news/utv/2021-…
