Building back cancer services in England
Institute for Public Policy Research - This research finds that even if stretched hospitals can maintain activity levels five per cent above pre-pandemic levels, it will still take until 2033 to clear the cancer treatment ‘missing patients backlog’ caused by the pandemic. However, if activity levels can be increased further and maintained at 15 per cent above pre-pandemic levels, backlogs across the cancer care pathway could be cleared by next year.

I Am a Decision Maker, Not a Bookkeeper
By HANS DUVEFELT
Perhaps it is because I love doctoring so much that I find some of the tools and tasks of my trade so tediously frustrating. I keep wishing the technology I work with wasn’t so painfully inept.
On my 2016 iPhone SE I can authorize a purchase, a download or a money transfer by placing my thumb on the home button.

Mrs. Dalai would be very upset with me if I shared all that. Hell, she ' s probably going to be upset with me for writing this at all. She is a very p...

Big Tech In Medicine: How Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Google, IBM & NVIDIA Disrupt Healthcare
We’ve spent a good part of our summer writing about Big Tech and how these companies, Amazon, Google/Alphabet, Microsoft, Apple, IBM and NVIDIA have approached medicine and its trillion-dollar market possibilities. These six companies have the most projects in healthcare, and their presence is not negligible at all: they all have the power and the incentive to transform and help digitise this market.
Moreover, all of these companies have something peculiar and very unique to give. Amazon’s distribution network can change the way we think of pharmacies in the future. Microsoft can bring steadiness, reason and predict...
