Hospital Professional News is a brand that provides informative and up-to-date information for healthcare professionals in the hospital setting. They focus on various medical specialties, including cardiology, dermatology, endocrinology, gastroenterology, haematology, men's and women's health, neurology, oncology, ophthalmology, psychology, respiratory, rheumatology, urology, and more. Their latest announcement highlights Cancer Trials Ireland, a national organization dedicated to advancing cancer clinical trials.

They have launched a new research survey specifically targeting women with secondary or metastatic breast cancer. This patient-led survey aims to understand the experiences of these women throughout their cancer journey, covering topics such as discussions with medical teams, access to information, sexuality and fertility issues, financial stresses, mental health impacts, conversations with family and children, participating in exercise programs, and engagement with palliative care. This study, spearheaded by Siobhan Gaynor, a former research scientist and secondary breast cancer patient, aims to fill the gaps in research and improve the quality of life for patients.

The survey is available online and is aiming to recruit up to 300 patients. Hospital Professional News is committed to providing valuable resources, advancing cancer care, and driving positive change in healthcare. For more information, visit their website at www.
