Embarrassing.

Steve Borthwick, are you watching?

What an amazing show from Stars (and Murray A. Lightburn from THE DEARS) last night: still sounding just as powerful as the first time I saw them 18 years ago. And we get to do it all again tonight! Please, please play “Going, Going, Gone” to make my weekend complete…

Thank you MHP Health and Pete Digger for hosting an excellent roundtable this morning: a great opportunity to discuss how pharma and the NHS can work together to make innovative, good value medicines available to patients.

Delighted that NHS England’s Commercial Medicines Directorate and NICE have worked successfully with MSD to secure access to this important new breast cancer treatment: highlighting our ongoing work to make good value, innovative treatments available to patients.

So happy to see another amazing Quins comeback with my boy: what a brilliant day out 😊 #COYQ

Thank you WA Communications for hosting an excellent roundtable: a great opportunity to discuss how NHS England and pharma companies can continue to work together to achieve rapid patient access to innovative medicines.

WE ARE EUROPEAN CHAMPIONS! 🏆

Today, NHS England in partnership with NICE, launch the Innovative Medicines Fund - the Fund will continue NHS momentum as an adopter of medical innovation through agreements that also safeguard value for taxpayers. bbc.in/3mn3ltK

Amazing to witness another incredible Harlequins 🃏 comeback with my boy today - this team do not know when they are beaten! #COYQ

I vividly remember listening to this for the first time and having my mind blown. Still my favourite record, 25 years later…

Hundreds of people with the most common form of an aggressive lung cancer could survive twice as long, thanks to a drug now available on the NHS.

The drug, durvalumab, can double the overall time someone can survive from two and a half to five years. 👉 england.nhs.uk/2022/05/hundre…

Be still, my beating heart…

It would be wrong not to do the whole weekend, right?

This is a dispatch for history. About a mass grave of children. One killed on the soccer field. Another so young that an umbilical cord is still attached. By the last two international journalists in Mariupol, risking their lives to write. @ap bit.ly/3tg7rYL

A revolutionary tumour-stopping drug for lung cancer will be made available to anyone who is eligible, thanks to a new deal announced today.

Read how hundreds more patients will now be able to receive this first-of-its-kind treatment. ➡️ england.nhs.uk/2022/03/hundre…

Well that’s put a downer on the weekend - it was all looking so good after 65 minutes… 😩

‘The NHS continues to focus on finding ways to push the boundaries of what we can do to help provide earlier diagnosis for patients and better outcomes.’

NHS Chief Executive Amanda Pritchard visited University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust to see their cutting-edge treatment for cancer. #WorldCancerDay
