    Oct 1 2025
    This episode of the Cancer Professionals Podcast delves into the often-overlooked topic of menopause and its implications for people living with cancer. The discussion features insights from Dani Binnington, founder of Menopause and Cancer, and Professor Richard Simcock, Chief Medical Officer at Macmillan and Consultant Clinical Oncologist, who highlights the complexities of menopause as a result of cancer treatments.

    Revolutionising cancer care: Macmillan's new strategy
    Aug 6 2025
    In this episode, we explore Macmillan’s bold new strategy which aims to do whatever it takes to get every person the best support today and spark a revolution in cancer care for the future. We're joined by Claire Taylor, Macmillan’s Chief Nursing Officer, and Samina Hussain, Lived Experience Strategy Adviser and Founder of Sakoon Through Cancer, who help bring the strategy to life through their insights and experiences. Together, we unpack the strategy’s four objectives:

    Reach everyone – with a focus on those who need support the most
    Reduce health inequities in cancer treatment and care
    Support people living with cancer and other long-term conditions
    Reduce variation in cancer treatment and care

    This conversation highlights the collaborative approach behind the strategy’s development, the vital role of lived experience, and the importance of involving communities. We also discuss how healthcare professionals can help turn this vision into reality, ensuring that everyone affected by cancer receives the best possible support.
