1. Sad to say that today is my last day at the fantastic @bloodcancer_uk as I become one of the many losing their job due to COVID-19. I’m looking forward to the opportunities that come from change even in difficult times. And I’ll leave you with these thoughts.

2. After the impossible choices we faced, I’m super pleased to leave a strong leadership team for research and policy in place of @FASulaiman2013 and @WaldenChris , under the inspirational direction of @rowntron

3. I’ll miss working with all my brilliant colleagues @bloodcancer_uk and the great network of people affected by blood cancer, haematologists and nurses @BritSocHaem and beyond who’ve shaped thinking on research and policy priorities and will continue to do so

4. UK blood cancer charities are working better together now then ever before. Thanks to friends @MyelomaUK @AnthonyNolan @DKMS_uk @LymphomaAction @LeukUK @WmukInfo and other @BloodCancerA charities for inspiring conversations about research this year and to @NCRI_partners

5. Nobody wanted to make the choices we have, but the needs of people with blood cancer come first, and I’m proud that @bloodcancer_uk we’ve focussed on that as we plan for the future

6. As medical research charities continue to take this tough, necessary and highly professional approach, its time for @hmtreasury to do its bit and support medical research charities – a conversation that @AMRC started 6 months ago https://twitter.com/AMRC/status/1309061484639645696?s=20

7. But in the meantime, if you are able to make a difference this #BloodCancerAwarenessMonth, join me and make a donation to @bloodcancer_uk today here https://bloodcancer.org.uk/get-involved/ways-give/donate/
