Helpful patient centred shift to reporting real waits for cancer care. Now must ensure sufficient staff to deliver the best cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Having two doses of MMR vaccine is the best way to protect against measles and mumps. I would urge people to ensure that they and their dependants are fully vaccinated from preventable diseases.
The @WHO has confirmed the UK has lost its ‘measles free’ status. Measles is one of the most infectious diseases known to man and lots of work is underway to combat the rise in cases. Our blog explains the current situation: https://t.co/99jBUnfJiz #ValueofVaccines @DHSCgovuk
Every four to 12 months we ask our junior doctors to start again in their fundamental working relationships. Is it time to start acknowledging the huge upheavals that rotation changes represent for doctors—personally and professionally? #BMJOpinion https://t.co/eGY2dc2Gpz

We’ve responded to the @WelshGovernment consultation on drug misuse delivery plan, welcoming focus on harm reduction. The role of A&E depts and forensic physicians in police stations is vital alongside other teams. Early access to treatment and more keyworker support is needed.
Our Chair @estheryoud had a great introductory meeting with Dr Tom Lawson Postgraduate Dean @HEIW_NHS discussing workforce focusing on the supply pipeline (need to increase med students & foundation places in Wales), SAS doctors and encouraging flu vaccine uptake
Don’t miss out on your chance to contribute to Wales’s first health and social care workforce strategy @CPWales @PostgraduateMed @RcmWales @MidwivesRCM @UniSouthWales Our consultation is running until 18 September https://t.co/d29EnQIU3c #AHealthierWales
Welcome and good luck to all the new junior doctors starting work today or changing placements. Have a great time in Wales! Being a junior doctor is hard work but fulfilling in many ways. We value you immensely! @HEIW_NHS

Well worth reading this blog by @DrMarkTaubert who we’ve been working with on advanced care planning. How would you plan your death? The @ChoosingWiselyW questions can help balance risks and benefits of care choices at the end of life https://t.co/09n9LjxXum
