Approx 1 in 400 hospital admissions has a serious medical or surgical error
Many are preventable by good team working, effective communication and optimising performance
Here's a short article we've written about human factors, safety & fallibility:

A statement from Chief Executive of Cancer Research UK, Michelle Mitchell:
“On behalf of everyone at Cancer Research UK, I wish Her Royal Highness a full, swift recovery and return to good health. During this difficult time, it’s important that the Princess is given the time and space to focus on her treatment and that we respect the family’s privacy.
“Nearly one in two of us will develop cancer during our lifetimes, but many more are affected when someone they love is diagnosed with cancer. Thanks to research there is hope - cancer survival has doubled in the last 50 years.
“High profile cancer cases often act as a prompt to encourage people to find out more or think about their own health. If people spot something that's not normal for them or isn't going away, they should check with their GP. It probably won't be cancer. But if it is, spotting it at an early stage means treatment is more likely to be successful.”

It makes me so angry that anyone is forced to reveal private medical details because the press and social media won’t let it lie.
This general election needs to be a turning point for people affected by cancer.
I'm calling on party leaders to back Cancer Research UK's calls for #LongerBetterLives

I am so proud to be an official Ambassador for @goodgrieftrust
It’s such an important charity that helped me so much when mum died last year.
Can’t wait to get started!
This morning we have some exciting news!
We are delighted to announce that The Good Grief Trust has a new Ambassador joining our charity this year.
We are thrilled to welcome @Liz_ORiordan to our team.
Liz is a Breast Surgeon, Author, and Broadcaster. One year ago she sadly experienced the death of her mother, through a rare osteosarcoma.
Although Liz herself has breast cancer, she tirelessly campaigns for greater awareness of the disease, offering support and guidance across her social channels, and through her podcast.
We know Liz’s energy, spirit and passion to help others through their struggles in life will be a huge asset to our work.
Welcome! 🧡☂️

It was my dream to speak at a literary festival last year about my memoir ‘ Under The Knife’.
Sometimes things don’t happen but that’s OK.
Instead - I’m offering 10 book clubs the chance to have a virtual chat with me instead.
Who’s interested????

1st review Amazon."Having cancer can be a very lonely place.Friends & family may offer support however there is nothing better than hearing from others who have/had cancer. So many time I thought "that's happened to me" when reading this book. After reading I don't feel as alone"

The day my sweet Daughter found out she had #BrainCancer at age 11. 💔
Ashley was strong, NEVER gave up & was so positive throughout her battle. I’m proud of my Ashley & thank God for allowing us to spend 13 amazing years w/ her.
I never want my Ashley to be forgotten & want you to know that Ashley LOVED life & is STILL making a tremendous impact in our childhood cancer community.
Your follow will allow us to reach the general public that is still unaware of #ChildhoodCancer 🎗️
Please join our mission, keep our Ashley’s story alive & fight for justice for those who do not have a voice. 🎗️
