What an amazing show from @youarestars (and Murray A. Lightburn from @thedears) last night: still sounding just as powerful as the first time I saw them 18 years ago. And we get to do it all again tonight! Please, please play “Going, Going, Gone” to make my weekend complete…

Thank you @MHPHealth and @petedigger for hosting an excellent roundtable this morning: a great opportunity to discuss how pharma and the NHS can work together to make innovative, good value medicines available to patients.

Delighted that NHS England’s Commercial Medicines Directorate and @NICEComms have worked successfully with @MSDintheUK to secure access to this important new breast cancer treatment: highlighting our ongoing work to make good value, innovative treatments available to patients.
Lauren is fully recovered from triple-negative breast cancer thanks to a trial of a new treatment which will now be rolled out on the NHS. This could save lives of more people like Lauren, who has been able to run races, continue her career in the NHS and be with her loved ones.

Amazing to witness another incredible @Harlequins comeback with my boy today - this team do not know when they are beaten! #COYQ
I vividly remember listening to this for the first time and having my mind blown. Still my favourite record, 25 years later…

Hundreds of people with the most common form of an aggressive lung cancer could survive twice as long, thanks to a drug now available on the NHS. The drug, durvalumab, can double the overall time someone can survive from two and a half to five years. 👉 england.nhs.uk/2022/05/hundr…

This is a dispatch for history. About a mass grave of children. One killed on the soccer field. Another so young that an umbilical cord is still attached. By the last two international journalists in Mariupol, risking their lives to write. @ap bit.ly/3tg7rYL

‘The NHS continues to focus on finding ways to push the boundaries of what we can do to help provide earlier diagnosis for patients and better outcomes.’ NHS Chief Executive @AmandaPritchard visited @UHD_NHS to see their cutting-edge treatment for cancer. #WorldCancerDay
