Blood Cancer Alliance

Today, we're launching our new #bloodcancermanifesto. Together, blood cancers are the UK's fifth most common cancer, the most common childhood cancer, and the 3rd biggest cancer killer. Read our Strategy for Blood Cancer to see our asks of the next UK Gov. bloodcanceralliance.org/manifesto

We’re speaking with #OneCancerVoice today and have added our name to this letter. We’re pleased the Gov has committed to a new national cancer plan - but it must be fully funded and ensure it serves all cancer types including those that are harder-to-treat and harder-to-diagnose

Together, blood cancers are the 5th most common cancer. But to date, cancer policymaking hasn't addressed the significant issues in delays to diagnosis and equitable access to treatment and care. This must change in the forthcoming NHS 10 Yr Plan and accompanying cancer plan.

We have signed a joint patient org statement on the @NHSEngland Commercial Framework Consultation. We want to see a more comprehensive, patient-centred review that produces real solutions to the challenge of barriers to access to new and effective treaments for our patients.

Lots of food for thought at #LAB24 fringe event hosted by BCA member @AnthonyNolan - we need to ensure NHS readiness to deliver the next generation of cell and gene therapies to secure better outcomes for blood cancer patients #HCF24
