Question time with the National Cancer Director

As part of the ongoing Standards of Care for people with secondary breast cancer campaign we are planning some online activities. We are delighted to report that Professor Mike Richards, National Cancer Director has agreed to take part in a question and answer session on issues surrounding secondary breast cancer. The sessions will be videoed and uploaded onto Breast Cancer Care’s website during the autumn.

If you have any questions regarding the treatment, care and support of people with secondary breast cancer that you would like Professor Mike Richards to answer please send them to <script type=“text/javascript”>eval(unescape(‘%64%6f%63%75%6d%65%6e%74%2e%77%72%69%74%65%28%27%3c%61%20%68%72%65%66%3d%22%6d%61%69%6c%74%6f%3a%73%65%63%6f%6e%64%61%72%79%63%61%6d%70%61%69%67%6e%69%6e%67%40%62%72%65%61%73%74%63%61%6e%63%65%72%63%61%72%65%2e%6f%72%67%2e%75%6b%22%3e%73%65%63%6f%6e%64%61%72%79%63%61%6d%70%61%69%67%6e%69%6e%67%40%62%72%65%61%73%74%63%61%6e%63%65%72%63%61%72%65%2e%6f%72%67%2e%75%6b%3c%2f%61%3e%27%29%3b’))</script>

I met Prof Richards last year at Westminster and was very impressed. He was very keen to take on board what was said and I found him to be a man of of his word.

Can you confirm if the is really national or of it is for England please. It’s just that in Scotland we assume we are included in certain areas (such as NICE) when we in fact are not.

Thanks

Hi yes I am not sure about Scotland and NICE guidelines and whether they have to be agreed by SIGN and QIS first. It would good to find out and the equivalent of National Cancer Director in Scotland. Can anyone advice? thansk
