Macmillan Cancer Support
@macmillancancer
We do whatever it takes to support people with cancer; emotionally, physically, and financially 💚
Behind these delays are thousands of people hoping for clarity, support and the chance to move forward. Everyone facing cancer deserves the very best care, as quickly as possible, no matter their postcode, background, or circumstances. independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n…
Upcoming strikes will be worrying for many people living with cancer. Unions must work with the Government to protect cancer services and find a way forward. inews.co.uk/news/health/ca…
There are improvements in cancer care in England but many face disparities. It's unacceptable that some people from diverse ethnic backgrounds, LGBTQ+ communities, with other conditions aren't getting the care they need. People with cancer deserves better healthcare-management.uk/families-carer…
We look forward to working in partnership to ensure support is available for people from day one. The moment someone hears ‘you’ve got cancer’ their lives are turned upside down. Having the right support is vital. Find support on our website: macmillan.org.uk
Patients will be connected to specialist charities as soon as they've been diagnosed with a long-term health condition, starting next year. This new service means expert advice, emotional support and practical help from day one, alongside NHS care. More: gov.uk/government/new…
With the summer holidays soon upon us, childcare can be tough, especially if you're also going through cancer. You are not alone. Support is out there. We’ve got information about childcare if you’re wondering how to approach the holidays: macmillan.org.uk/cancer-informa…
Early cancer diagnosis increases the likelihood of survival, but access to cancer care in the UK isn’t fair. Initiatives like this are positive steps forward in making cancer tests, treatment, and support more accessible, offering hope that more people will get the best care.

Great morning spent at Sir Ludwig Guttmann Health and Wellbeing Centre in Stratford with Macmillan professionals and people from across the cancer community to attend the 10 Year Health Plan announcement.
Hear how @Duncan_CNO, Chief Nursing Officer for England, thinks the 10 Year Health Plan will help staff and patients, and renew the NHS. 👇
