To mark International Women’s Day and this year’s theme, #GiveToGain, I’ve been reflecting on how this idea shows up in leadership and how it has shaped my own career over the years: www.linkedin.com/posts/michel... #IWD26
The NHS is working hard to cope with increasing pressures on cancer services, but still far too many people are facing unacceptable delays for treatment. More investment is needed in NHS workforce & equipment to deliver real change for patients across the UK. More here: cruk.ink/3N3PZDx
Philanthropic support is already accelerating progress – from discovery science, to trials that are bringing hope to people affected by cancer. We’re now over halfway through our sector-leading campaign, but there’s more to do to achieve our goal of beating cancer together. Read more below.
On World Cancer Day, read my thoughts in the @theobserveruk.bsky.social on the new National Cancer Plan for England 👇 observer.co.uk/news/nationa...
Today I met Health Minister Mike Nesbitt in Stormont at a @cancerresearchuk.org showcase where we demonstrated the impact of cancer research and we discussed ways to meet the cancer challenges facing Northern Ireland.
Our No Time To Wait report sets out why we need to see immediate action to protect patient safety by reducing the backlog of people still waiting for diagnosis and treatment. Read it here bit.ly/3ZrkKoo
20,000 people in Northern Ireland won’t start treatment on time over the next 5 years unless emergency action is taken. The Northern Ireland Executive must develop a plan that prioritises patients at the highest risk. bit.ly/3NDvfCr

Such a beautiful evening on Tuesday at the @cancerresearchuk.org St Paul’s Carol Concert. We raised just over £800,000 for life-saving cancer research. Thank you to our committee, musicians, readers and everyone who attended and made it such a memorable event.
Thrilled that we raised over £800,000 at the #EmeraldsAndIvy ball on Saturday so our Cancer Awareness Roadshows can continue to offer inclusive access to free, lifesaving cancer information to the public. Thank you to Ronan & Storm Keating and the Marie Keating Foundation for an evening to remember.
Tonight, I'm following the yellow brick road all to way to the #EmeraldsAndIvy ball. The event is in support of @cancerresearchuk.org's Cancer Awareness Roadshow and the Marie Keating Foundation - last year we raised an incredible £950,000 and I know tonight is going to be just as special.
This week we've been Standing Up To Cancer. Since 2012, @cancerresearchuk.org's partnership with @channel4.bsky.social has raised over £113M, funding 73 projects to accelerate life-saving cancer tests and treatments for cancer patients who need them. Tune in tonight for an unmissable night of TV.
Another positive step towards ending cancers caused by smoking in the UK. Congratulations to the team that made this happen in Wales. I urge members of the House of Lords to ensure the Tobacco and Vapes Bill becomes law as quickly as possible.
Wonderful to listen to the very first episodes of The Rest Is Science podcast, with talk of all things science as well as highlighting the huge impact @cancerresearchuk.org has had on doubling cancer survival over nearly 50 years. Listen on your preferred platform: linktr.ee/therestissci...
Science has the power to transform lives. At @cancerresearchuk.org, we know that breakthroughs happen when curiosity meets collaboration, which is why we’re proud to partner with The Rest Is Science to share the stories behind the science and inspire more people to support cancer research.
PODCAST: Ahead of the new national cancer plan for England, what can policymakers learn from Denmark’s progress?
@michellecruk.bsky.social and Jesper Fisker join @jenniferthf.bsky.social to discuss.

This is a huge step forward - by supporting the LungVax clinical trial, we will put the vaccine through the most rigorous scientific tests and take that important first step towards a world where people live longer, better lives, free from the fear of lung cancer.
The group later headed to DHSC to hand in our letter addressed to Health Secretary @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social, signed by 35,000 supporters & people impacted by cancer. We’ve made our call clear – now the UK Government must respond with bold action to transform cancer care #TurningPointForCancer
Last year, 74,000 people in England didn't start their cancer treatment on time – more than enough people on a match day to fill West Ham’s stadium, where yesterday I joined ambassadors, colleagues & Dame Deborah James’s father Alistair to highlight the urgent need for change #TurningPointForCancer
It was great to join the @healthfoundation.bsky.social podcast alongside Jesper Fisker, CEO of the Danish Cancer Society to talk about the upcoming National Cancer Plan and what we can learn from the success of Denmark's cancer strategy.
Exciting day as @cancerresearchuk.org launches cancer manifestos for Scotland & Wales ahead of next year’s elections. We’re calling on all political parties to make strong commitments to transform cancer outcomes in both nations. Change is possible and, with bold & urgent action, it’s within reach.
Last week I had the pleasure of attending a wonderful reception at 11 Downing Street with some of our valued supporters and friends, where we shared our thanks for their generous support for our More Research, Less Cancer campaign so far.
I recently spoke to Hugh Pym at BBC News about what we can learn from Denmark and how the National Cancer Plan for England must be a turning point for cancer 👇 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Here at @cancerresearchuk.org, we’re making good progress in our mission to beat cancer and delivering significant impact for those affected by cancer, and I'm proud to share our latest Annual Report and Accounts today: cruk.ink/4pcj4uL
Recently I spoke with the @financialtimes.com about the importance of the National Cancer Plan for England, and it’s role in driving progress in early detection, diagnosis and survival. You can read more here: on.ft.com/4mRMjS9
I’m incredibly grateful to HSBC UK for its longstanding support of @cancerresearchuk.org. Today, I want to thank their CEO, Ian and everyone at HSBC UK for another generous donation which will help us fund more vital research so that more people can have precious time with their loved ones.
Today I joined the Cancer Awareness Roadshow in Brixton to speak with the nurses. Our roadshows play an important role in taking potentially life-saving cancer information into the heart of communities, engaging and empowering people to take positive action with their health.
Thank you to all those who have supported our open letter. This is a great opportunity for the UK government to make a big difference for people affected by cancer in England. Sign the open letter 👇and make sure your voice is heard.
Decades of research has meant that patients are more likely to survive their cancer today than ever, but progress in survival for all cancers is slowing. I spoke about these new findings on BBC Radio 4 Today, you can listen here: www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...
A new study from @lshtm.bsky.social we funded has revealed a 92-percentage point gap in 10-year survival between the most & least deadly cancers. It's vital the National Cancer Plan for England transforms cancer care & boosts survival across all cancer types. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
