With NCPE Symposium fast approaching we ask that the most important stakeholders are treated as such... Patients should never be excluded or prohibited by costs to have a rightful seat at the table, one that decides what our lives are worth no less!

Cancer survivors should not be punished by insurers. It's unjust. Protections against this discriminatory practice exist in many other EU countries, but not in Ireland ⚠️
We join cancer centers' calls for immediate action to enshrine the #RightToBeForgotten into Irish law ✊

Care delayed is care denied. Cancer patients simply cannot afford to wait. Timely access to scans for both diagnosis & disease and treatment monitoring is detrimental to outcomes.
Action is desperately needed.

We welcome @hselive.bsky.social approval of Enhurtu for HR2-low MBC.
Cancer patients in Ireland have waited 2.5 years to access this EMA approved drug. Reform of our drugs reimbursement system is needed to deliver timely and fair access for all patients.
