IMPROVE UK is the first major programme to address these inequalities and build an infrastructure to develop a legacy of best practice sharing up and down the country.Ultimately, this will improve survival rates and address inequalities in care for all women with ovarian cancer in the UK regardless of where they live, their age or ethnicity. Results of the first pilots in theIMPROVE UKprogramme have been presented at the British Gynaecological Cancer Society annual conference in Aberdeen, Scotland on 30th June.IMPROVE UK is an innovative programme launched by Ovarian Cancer Action. It aims to significantly reduce the inequalities that ovarian cancer patients currently face in healthcare and the disproportionately low survival rates.The IMPROVE UK programme is the first of its kind and is designed to significantly improve survival rates by ensuring that no matter where a woman lives in the UK, or her ethnicity, she can get the ovarian cancer diagnosis, treatment and care she needs.In January 2022, seven pilot projects were awarded funding through the programme targeted a wide range of issues in the current system, in a bid to improve the access to high quality care for more women. 18 months later we now have the results of these innovative pilots. Presenting the results at the annual BGCS conference is the first step to share the learnings with other cancer centres across the UK to help drive wider changes and improved health services for women. Important learnings from the programme include:1. Setting up a prehabilitation clinic for ovarian cancer patients is feasible, acceptable with patients, cost effective for the NHS, and improves patients health before they begin cancer treatment. 2. A “One Stop Shop” to reduce the number of patient appointments into one day is acceptable to patients and reduces the time from diagnosis to treatment.3. Regional multi-centre MDT discussions can increase the proportion of patients receiving surgery4. When patients do not have English as their first language, information on genetic testing can be delivered using innovative methods to ensure testing is more likely to be accepted.“Women have been living with the inequality gap in care and treatment for too long and now is the time for action and change. Our IMPROVE UK pilots have been a huge success, with a phenomenal amount achieved over just 18 months. The determination of the teams involved has been inspiring and now we need to ensure that the learnings are spread across the whole of the UK.” Marie-Claire Platt, Head of Research and Policy of Ovarian Cancer Action.You can find out more about IMPROVE UK and the individual pilot projectshttps://lnkd.in/eyTYy3_m

Help raise #SarcomaAwareness this July! It's #SarcomaAwareness Month #“LetstalkabouttheForgottenCancer"! Let's join together to raise vital awareness and fund research for bone sarcomas (primary bone cancer).Understanding Sarcoma:Sarcomas are a diverse group of cancers that can occur in any part of the body, including bones, muscles, fat, blood vessels, and other connective tissues. Unlike more common types of cancer, sarcoma accounts for only about 1% of all adult cancers. Unfortunately, this rarity often leads to delayed diagnosis and limited treatment options, making it even more crucial to bring attention to this disease.The Importance of World Sarcoma Month:World Sarcoma Month, observed every July, aims to increase awareness, encourage early detection, and promote research efforts for improved treatment options. By rallying individuals, organizations, and healthcare professionals around this cause, we can make significant strides in understanding and combating this forgotten cancer. Together, we can amplify the voices of sarcoma patients and their families and ensure they receive the support and attention they deserve.Breaking the Silence:Sarcoma patients face numerous challenges, both physical and emotional. The lack of knowledge about sarcoma can lead to misdiagnosis and inadequate treatment. Additionally, due to its rarity, many patients find themselves isolated, with limited access to support groups and resources. This World Sarcoma Month, let's break the silence surrounding sarcoma and encourage open conversations about this disease. By sharing stories, information, and resources, we can create a supportive environment for those affected by sarcoma.Raising Awareness:Raising awareness is a crucial step in addressing the challenges associated with sarcoma. During World Sarcoma Month, we can leverage various platforms to educate others about this forgotten cancer. Share information on social media, organize fundraising events, and collaborate with organizations that support sarcoma research and patient advocacy. By joining forces, we can create a global movement that fosters understanding and empathy.Supporting Sarcoma Patients:World Sarcoma Month is an opportunity to extend our support to sarcoma patients and their loved ones. Reach out to local support groups and organizations dedicated to sarcoma, offering your time, skills, or resources. By volunteering or donating, we can make a difference in the lives of those affected by sarcoma. Let's ensure that no sarcoma patient feels alone or unheard.#SarcomaAwareness #people #world #society #qatar MedTech Corporation #healthcare #Medtechcorportaion

🌸 As #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth draws to a close this October, let's continue to recognize its impact on everyone. This disease touches us all as we share a connection with someone affected by it. In New York City, this concern is especially pressing for non-Hispanic Black women. Collaborating with the NYC Department of Health, our dedicated team at FPHNYC is actively working to make a difference by introducing the newly launched Breast Cancer Patient Navigator Program and Breast Cancer Coalition. These initiatives are not just about increasing #breastcancerscreenings but uniting #healthcareinstitutions in the city to explore and address the underlying factors contributing to higher breast cancer mortality rates in disproportionately affected non-Hispanic Black women populations.Out goal is to forge a path toward a more equitable future where early detection, support, and collaboration lead to reduced breast cancer disparities and saved lives. Join us in this journey to spread #BreastCancerAwareness and make a meaningful impact. 🌸Learn more:

Nothing could be better for the #breastcancer #community than to find “their tribe” to feel a sense of belonging, familiarity, and the lived experience of others to guide the newly diagnosed through the decision process of care and treatment. It feels comfortable as long as the advice given is open-ended guiding the patient how to move forward.Sadly, forming separate tribes on social media in breast cancer advocacy happens but should not. It can potentially be detrimental to the entire breast cancer community when there are fractions and judgements made about choices from individual groups that are specific to one choice. The only right choice is the one the patient is comfortable. The only right choice is the one the patient is at peace making after ashared decision-making conversationwith their healthcare team.In the end, we are forged through our alliances. I feel strongly we must show the global community of those affected by breast cancer that when we demonstrate a united front, we are a formidable tribe.#patientadvocacy #nonprofitleadership #breastreconstruction #shareddecisionmaking supporting #sdg3

🌸 As we conclude #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth this October, I want to emphasize that breast cancer remains a major focus in bettering NYC’s public health. Non-Hispanic black women experience the highest breast cancer mortality rates in NYC. To address this disparity, Fund for Public Health in NYC collaborated with the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene to launch the Breast Cancer Navigator Program and Breast Cancer Coalition. 🌸These initiatives are dedicated to increasing breast cancer screenings and uniting healthcare institutions in the city. Our efforts work to better understand and target the underlying factors contributing to disproportionate breast cancer mortality rates among non-Hispanic black women in NYC. Together, we're forging a path toward a more equitable future where early detection, support, and collaboration lead to reduced breast cancer disparities and saved lives.
