Mark Lawler: The severe cancer workforce crisis – a ticking time bomb that must be diffused to avert a cancer crisis

Mark Lawler Chair in Translational Cancer Genomics and the Associate Director of Postgraduate Studies at Queen’s University Belfast, shared a post by European Cancer Organisation, on X:

“See the results of our paper out today that highlights the severe cancer workforce crisis – a ticking time bomb that must be diffused to avert a cancer crisis.”

Quoting European Cancer Organisation‘s post

“Did you know that in the UK there is a severe cancer workforce crisis, with nearly 20% of cancer care professionals reporting high levels of burnout?

This is just one of the eye-opening facts revealed in the European Cancer Pulse, a data tool developed by ECO to track cancer inequalities across Europe.

The Pulse has already influenced health policies in Greece, Bulgaria, Ireland, and France. In the UK, it’s supporting new policy actions with concrete facts and current data.

Explore the European Cancer Pulse and read the latest article by the Queen’s University Belfast on this invaluable tool.”
