We’re pleased to welcome Dr Sara Stoneham to her new role as the National Specialty Lead for Rare Cancers. We’re delighted to see progress is being made with the Rare Cancers Act, which we campaigned for on its journey through Parliament.

Campaigning win ‼️🎉 People with blood cancer in Wales are one step closer to better care, treatment and access to life-saving clinical trials. Today, the Welsh Government announced it will develop a 10-year National Cancer Strategy for Wales – something we've been campaigning for.
Image is of the Cabinet Minister for Health and Care standing in the Senedd, with seats and microphones behind him. 

The quote reads:

We need to attract more clinical trials in Wales, and we need to attract more research... 

We're working on that now so that Wales can become a world leader.”

Good to hear blood cancer raised in the House of Commons by Steve Yemm MP during yesterday’s debate on the experiences & outcomes of young people with cancer. Every year, over 680 children under 15, and around 630 teenagers and young adults aged between 15 and 24 are diagnosed with blood cancer.

What does the National Cancer Plan for England mean for people with blood cancer? After the Government published the Plan earlier this month, we set out what it could mean for our community & where we’ll be pushing to make sure ambition turns into impact. bit.ly/3MV7hmd

Behind every statistic is a person living with blood cancer.  It takes listening to those with lived experience to understand the challenges and to shape better care.  This #BloodCancerAwarenessMonth, I’m proud to stand with Blood Cancer UK and those affected and call for urgent action.
The graphic shows bold text, "Blood cancer takes more than 15,000 lives a year. We know what it takes to beat it," across a burgundy background. The Blood Cancer UK logo is at the bottom of the graphic, alongside the words, "we know what it takes."

We’ve done it! 🎉 Tonight, in a landmark vote, MPs backed bodily autonomy and ensured that no one will face prosecution for ending their own pregnancies in England and Wales. More thanks to come - but if you’ve liked, shared, or written to your MP, this reform is thanks to you. 👏

Today www.audit.wales has published its report into cancer services in Wales. Our Chair, @lowrigriffiths.bsky.social has made a statement on behalf of the Wales Cancer Alliance. The full statement is here on the @walescancer.bsky.social website. walescanceralliance.org/wp-content/u...
Lowri Griffiths, Chair of the Wales Cancer Alliance said: 

“The Wales Cancer Alliance welcomes the publication of Audit Wales’ report into NHS Wales’ strategic approach to improving timeliness of cancer diagnosis and treatment.  

With only a few exceptions, cancer waiting times across Wales for all tumour sites has stagnated below 60% and far from the national target of 75% for several years. Wales’ cancer outcomes are also amongst the worst across the developed world and cancer inequalities are increasing - this is unacceptable.  

We welcome Audit Wales’ overall conclusion and recommendations, they have been based upon a rigorous appraisal of the performance, resources, and strategic direction of cancer services in Wales, and validate our own frustrations around the strategic leadership of Cancer Services over recent years.
