We’ve been really concerned by the reported increase in young people using sunbeds. We’re working with @teenagecancertrust.bsky.social to share information on the dangers of using sunbeds and to urge everyone to stay away from them. #UVSafety #Melanoma #SkinCancer #CancerAwareness #Sunbeds

@katecollinsuk.bsky.social, Chief Executive at Teenage Cancer Trust, says: “Today’s announcement by the Chancellor, of a £29bn funding boost for the NHS is a welcome step towards improving NHS Services. However, this must not result in a wasted opportunity for young people with cancer. (1/5)

Cancer affects so many of us, including myself, so it is vital the Government gets this National Cancer Plan right. You can read my National Cancer Plan letter here: www.wokinghamlibdems.org.uk/news/article...

Earlier in May, I sent a letter to the Health Secretary, Wes Streeting, outlining my findings to help shape the National Cancer Plan. (1/7)

Research from the University of Nottingham has found teenagers in the UK are facing average waits of almost nine weeks for a cancer diagnosis: www.independent.co.uk/life-style/h...

I am honoured to have joined young people and the @teenagecancertrust.bsky.social to hand in their open letter to the Government, calling for young people’s voices in the National Cancer Plan. The #AndYoungPeople campaign is vital for ensuring young people with cancer get the support they need.

This week, I met with young people and the @teenagecancertrust.bsky.social to deliver their letter to the Department of Health and Social Care. #AndYoungPeople is calling for children and young people to be included in the National Cancer Plan, ensuring their voices are listened to.

Yesterday was a powerful day. Young people, MPs and our founders joined us at Westminster as we handed the Department of Health and Social Care our open letter calling for young people’s voices to be included in the National Cancer Plan.

I’m proud to join @clivejonesmp.bsky.social and 42 parliamentary colleagues in supporting @teenagecancertrust.bsky.social #AndYoungPeople campaign. This joint letter to the Health Secretary calls for the National Cancer Plan to fully address the distinct needs of young people facing cancer.

42 MPs and I are backing @teenagecancertrust.bsky.social's #AndYoungPeople campaign - the National Cancer Plan needs to consider the unique needs of young people with cancer. That's why we've written to the Health Secretary to urge him to listen to young people's voice and act upon what they say.

Today we hosted a roundtable at @ukparliament.parliament.uk on the barriers young people with cancer face accessing clinical trials, chaired by @steveyemm-mp.bsky.social MP and our Chief Nurse Louise Soanes.

Last month, ahead of Teenage and Young Adult Cancer Awareness Month, a group of young people who have been supported by us were able to visit Scottish Parliament to share their concerns and experiences with MSPs. Here, Elena describes the experience through her eyes 💙

🧵: In addition to ensuring that the distinct needs of young people with cancer in England are heard in the upcoming cancer plan, we're also drawing attention to the needs of young people in devolved nations this Teenage and Young Adult Cancer Awareness Month. (1/3)

🧵: As part of our #AndYoungPeople campaign we’re asking the Government to take action to ensure young people with cancer are diagnosed more quickly. (1/5)

It’s Teenage and Young Adult Cancer Awareness month and our #AndYoungPeople campaign is raising awareness of why it’s crucial young people with cancer are included in the Government’s National Cancer Plan for England. We want to share some of these reasons here:

We’re frustrated with repeating the words “and young people”. Here’s why – and here’s what the Government can do this Teenage and Young Adult Cancer Awareness Month to change things… (a 🧵 thread)

We didn't hear any new details about investing in the NHS in today's #SpringStatement but we're continuing to ask the Government to provide more detail on funding and reform for young people with cancer in its upcoming National Cancer Plan.

Every young person with cancer deserves a quick diagnosis and fast access to treatment. We’re joining 50+ cancer charities, speaking with #OneCancerVoice, to call on the Government to fully fund the National Cancer Plan, so every cancer patient gets the care they deserve.

It’s #WorldCancerDay – and today, the Government announced both a new National Cancer Plan, which will form the foundation of cancer care in the UK over the coming years, and the return of the Children and Young People Cancer Taskforce 🧵

Who are Teenage Cancer Trust ❓ We're the only UK charity providing specialised nursing care and support for young people with cancer. We exist because cancer care wasn’t made for young people. Have a watch to learn a bit more about us here: youtu.be/h5H4OPoXifA #youngpeople #cancersupport

Yesterday Audit Wales published its report on cancer services in Wales. The report found that the Cancer Improvement Plan for Wales currently lacks detail on services for children and young people & that there is a lack of adequate data to inform improvements for this age group.

It was welcome to hear action on the NHS so prominent in the Plan for Change launch this morning. Every day, seven young people are diagnosed with cancer.

Today we attended a parliamentary roundtable to discuss a new report by the Specialist Cancer Charities Group. A citizens' jury of 17 people with experience of cancer shared their views on how to improve cancer treatment. @anthonynolan.bsky.social Read the report here: bit.ly/4ikoikv

My @teenagecancertrust.bsky.social team are up for Comms Team of the Year - please vote!

Delighted to see this partnership working launch today between the ace @teenagecancertrust.bsky.social team & the team at Marie Curie. Creating something better than either of us can do alone. Stronger together 💪 What I also love is no-one asked me. The team just knew what made sense 👏
