The news that Milton Keynes University Hospital’s dedicated cancer centre will open its doors in December will come as a welcome relief to the 4,000 residents of the city who are diagnosed with the disease each year. Despite an increase in the number of people who survive cancer, the UK is still falling behind other high-income countries, and the announcement of this analysis was released on the same day that MK Hospital Chair, Simon Lloyd, updated Milton Keynes Business Leaders (MKBLP) on the new cancer centre.
Following the simultaneous launch of four Local Industrial Strategies to boost the Oxford-Cambridge Arc initiative, two LEP CEO’s spoke exclusively to business leaders in Milton Keynes to explain how the city is playing a vital role in delivering these strategies. Richard Harrington, CEO of Bucks & Thames Valley LEP, and Hilary Chipping, Chief Executive of the South East Midlands LEP, were guest speakers at a Milton Keynes Business Leaders (MKBLP) event earlier this month.
