Title Improving lives of people living with and beyond cancer – Research Education Day highlights Degree of recognition National Media name/outlet NIHR Manchester Biomedical Research Centre Media type Web Country/Territory United Kingdom Date 15/11/23 Description In this blog, Dr Louise James, Senior Research Project Manager at the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Manchester Biomedical Research Centre (BRC), shares insights from the BRC Living with and Beyond Cancer theme’s Research Education Day. This theme is looking into ways of reducing the risk of health problems caused by cancer treatment, and Louise discusses the exciting and impactful progress they have made so far.
This year we also heard from Prof John Radford (Professor of Medical Oncology, The Christie NHS Foundation Trust and Manchester BRC LWBC Co-Theme Lead) and Dr Kim Linton (Clinical Senior Lecturer, Medical Oncology, University of Manchester and Manchester BRC LWBC Programme Lead) about substantial progress made with the award-winning BARD (Breast screening After Radiotherapy Dataset) programme. By linking Cancer Registry, treatment and research data, BARD is a national list of women at high risk of breast cancer following previous radiotherapy involving breast tissue to facilitate screening for this group. This approach has led to presentations shaping national LWBC policy and John will also be presenting details of BARD and related work to the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Cancer in December.Producer/Author Louise James URL https://www.manchesterbrc.nihr.ac.uk/news-and-events/improving-lives-of-people-living-with-and-beyond-cancer-research-education-day-highlights/ Persons Kim Linton
