  • Summary

  • For episode 50 of the National Health Executive podcast, we were joined by Dr Nicky Huskens, CEO at the Tessa Jowell Brain Cancer Mission, to talk about everything from some of the recent investment being funnelled into the sector, to hopes for the future with the new Labour government.

    Some of the funding includes the next stage in the government’s £40m pledge to develop new lifesaving research. That pledge was made by the previous Conservative government – on collaboration with the new government, Dr Huskens said: “I’ve spoken with the [DHSC] team before they came into power and they are big fans of the mission-led approach and the work that the brain tumour community has been doing

    “I think going forward, in the first instance, will be working together with the civil servants to launch those three calls – the HP call, the consortium, the care call – and to do that really well and engage the community to participate. From there, I would say the sky is the limit!”

    Listen to the full podcast to hear Dr Huskens’ thoughts on improving best practice sharing, the state of the neuro-oncology workforce, the importance of data in the sector, and more.
