Empowerment maybe. I wonder if losing that hasn’t helped over the years? Still, change may happen with you helping. Thanks++

Why is this Martin? This was a sector that saved so many lives, could have emerged heroic as they saved a generation. Why did they suddenly all decide to leave. Like winning the World Cup qualifiers and then all quitting!

Crazy. I swum across from Spain to Morocco when I was a student. We were told then that orcas were safe. I saw them on the swim- they were massive and just curious. But with 500 incidence of removing rudders from boats- good luck swimmers this summer!

10/x. do let me know how you feel. There's a number of possible views. 1- This is not best shared, 2-There should be debate, 3-Let's improve care, 4-give them the tools....

9/x. Our leadership are brave in raising these issues. They appear to have phrased a balanced ask and the first is just to meet and share their solutions.

8/x From my experience, I chaired & lead a session at the UK cancer forum. I talked to leaders/professionals across the UK and let them talk. Our professions are doing an incredible job in unusual times & experiencing pressures They are motivated to provide world-class care

7/x But there's more suggestions.... More cancer professionals and Ensure that funding matches demand. Potentially these two are less easy to deliver. for the cancer capacity challenge

6/x.1- to collect data, 2- tools- better IT and use of AI, 3- develop a strategy, 4-Care more about cancer, 5-reduce inequality in care, 6-make hospitals love their cancer centres... These all seem pretty easy...

4/x. Our leaders are surprisingly honest and "share" some of the difficult coalface decisions that are happening. Like whether to withhold access, or prioritise who can receive treatment at a safe time at the expense of others.

3/x but.... there's a flipside. Our Cancer leadership quote "Demand for cancer treatment is increasing by approximately 6-8% every year" and "They are being asked to deliver more treatment with the same staffing numbers"

2/x What's the issue ? The UK delivers successful cancer care. Year on year, people live longer and better lives. https://gov.uk/government/news/cancer-survival-rates-improve-by-almost-10. 10% improved survival in 15 years. Achieved by early diagnosis, better treatment best cancer staff, research.

8/x @why.bsky.team- I hope that's a good overview of why science communication could benefit from this platform!

7/x I can't wait for bsky capabilities- post videos, threads and emoticons. And remember, contrary to other platforms, .... 1-eating "Cyanide" will not cure cancer" 2-covid vaccines won't cause you to will die horribly of cancer in the next fortnight, 3- we are not giving chemo to get free pens. :)

6/x I'm interested to see how Bluesky pans out and I'll give it a go. It's a promising start with minimal barriers to starting. I've been given the push by my friends at indieSAGE, the largest UK science public communication channel which formed during the pandemic. 4 of us have made the move.

5/x Not good things clearly. And for me, it's clear that harm is happening on other social media channels. As a cancer doctor, my job is to empower people do things to avoid cancer, and help them access cancer care. It's so difficult when as a doctor/scientist I'm pitted against algorithms/bots
