@rcradiologists.bsky.socialA pleasure to meet Lee Barron MP in Parliament with @stephenharden.bsky.social to discuss the challenges facing children and young people with brain tumours and what more can be done to support their timely diagnosis, treatment and care.
@rcradiologists.bsky.socialWe've asked @karinsmythmp.bsky.social to urgently stop recruitment freezes in radiology depts and cancer centres in England, which have doubled in a year, with patients suffering as a result. Thank you to all who signed our letter and told us how freezes impact your service. https://bit.ly/4xuDHW2
