Thought for the day!
I didn’t realise NI had so many experts on the running of safe, high quality, positive outcomes, elective and emergency General Surgery service (ie abdominal surgery). Part of an explanation of why we can’t bring about necessary reform in this country!!

As Christmas approaches reflecting on last year in our HSCNI. Despite some rays of light (ambulatory centres, EOSCs, assembly back, framework and three year plan) there is still a massive amount of work to do! Does it feel different on the ground? I’m not sure! 1/2

Hard to believe #pancreaticcancerawarenessmonth is over. However, every day of the year someone, somewhere is told that they have pancreatic cancer. We must continue to raise as much awareness to achieve earlier diagnosis and continue global research to improve prognosis 🙏
As #PCAM ends, we wrap up our Partners in #TimeMatters campaign until November 2025.
Thank you to our amazing community, fundraisers, and supporters. Together, we’re making a difference in #PancreaticCancer outcomes
