    Our Cancer Nurse Specialist workforce is facing a crisis. With the demand for cancer services increasing, we need more CNSs than ever before. "Working in cancer isn’t all doom and gloom - we have some nice, happy times with our patients." #NationalCancerCNSDay

    If you’ve noticed new symptoms that you can’t explain & won’t go away, talk to your GP. It could be nothing serious, but if it is, it's important to find it early. Thank you to the brilliant @vicderbyshire for sharing an important message. #HelpUsHelpYou @NHSEngland @NHSNW
