As of today, World Cancer Day, Wales in the only UK nation without a long-term plan to drive improvements in cancer care and outcomes. With cancer incidence in Wales rising – adding pressure to an already stretched system – the next Government must urgently address this...

42 per cent of women in Wales wrongly believe that cervical screening will detect #ovariancancer. With no viable screening programme, it is vital that every woman knows the symptoms of ovarian cancer.

In infographic containing the symptoms of ovarian cancer - Bloated tummy, no appetite / feeling full quickly, tummy pain and needing to wee more. The advice is that if symptoms are persistent to ask your GP about ovarian cancer.

💬 Did you know our Responsive Emergency Assessment and Community Team (REACT) service aims to help keep patients with a terminal diagnosis out of hospital? The scheme was set up after data showed that end-of-life patients spent an average of a month in hospital in the last year of their life. 💔

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.
