Right now, the UK isn\u2019t investing enough in world-leading infrastructure, so a move to do so is welcome. <a href=\"https:\/\/scienceblog.cancerresearchuk.org\/2020\/06\/24\/opinion-uk-cancer-research-could-be-set-back-years-by-covid-19-we-must-act-now\/\">Charities like Cancer Research UK play a unique and vital role in the research ecosystem<\/a>, which should not be under-estimated. This also comes as medical research charities like us are feeling the financial impact of COVID-19, which is putting our life saving research at risk. We look forward to working with Government to shape how the Roadmap is implemented, and importantly protect the role that charities can play in achieving these shared ambitions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><cite>\u2013 Iain Foulkes, Cancer Research UK\u2019s executive director of research and innovation.<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Visit our previous blog posts for coronavirus and cancer updates from <a href=\"https:\/\/scienceblog.cancerresearchuk.org\/2020\/06\/04\/coronavirus-and-cancer-june-updates\/\">June<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/scienceblog.cancerresearchuk.org\/2020\/05\/04\/coronavirus-and-cancer-may-updates\/\">May<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/scienceblog.cancerresearchuk.org\/2020\/03\/19\/coronavirus-and-cancer-latest-updates\/\">March and April<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>Katie&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>If you have questions about cancer, you can talk to our nurses Monday to Friday, 9-5pm, on freephone 0808 800 4040.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><h3 class=\"panel-title\">More on this topic<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"http:\/\/feedproxy.google.com\/~r\/cancerresearchuk\/SHhE\/~3\/hkAW31jPfeo\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>30 June \u2013 Two NHS Nightingale hospitals converted into cancer testing centres 29 June \u2013 Cervical screening to resume in Scotland 22 June&nbsp;\u2013 Shielding advice updated in England 2 June \u2013 Risk of death from COVID-19 confirmed to be higher for Black, Asian and minority ethnic Groups 27 April \u2013 NHS campaign urges people to [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5137],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-26154","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-world-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ogkologos.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26154","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ogkologos.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ogkologos.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ogkologos.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ogkologos.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26154"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/ogkologos.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26154\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":44240,"href":"https:\/\/ogkologos.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26154\/revisions\/44240"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ogkologos.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26154"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ogkologos.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26154"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ogkologos.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26154"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
