Life-saving early warning system that will give millions faster cancer diagnosis is being rolled out across the NHS

Millions of patients will receive faster diagnosis thanks to Cancer 360. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 A life-saving early warning system for cancer is being rolled out across the NHS Credit: Getty The technology brings vital patient information together into one system so clinicians can easily spot those in need of urgent attention. Currently the NHS uses many different, complex systems, leaving staff to piece together patient information from spreadsheets, emails or records. Cancer 360 has been trialled in two trusts and will be rolled out to a further ten within weeks. Technology Secretary Peter Kyle said it will save lives and keep families together for longer. He added: 'I've seen first-hand the stress and heartbreak that cancer causes in my own family. 'With archaic pen-and-paper systems, life-saving diagnostics appointments hung on whether a Post-It note lost its stickiness or a piece of paper went missing. 'That put lives at risk.' The system has already helped Chelsea and Westminster Hospital meet the standard of 75 per cent of patients receiving a diagnosis within 28 days of referral. Suraiya Abdi, consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist, said: 'It has improved performance, team spirit and most importantly patient experience.'

I just wrap the string attached to the teabag around the snail and it keeps everything from falling back into my tea to float around until I fish it back out. I like that each one has a different color and I keep them all handy to grab, as they fit really nice on the heavy wire of my dish rack with my other tea accessories when not in use. I gave some to my friend who is a tea lover as well and he likes them too. Thank You!" — KA7DRE Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $7.99. 20.

Since adding them to my laundry routine, my drying times have decreased some and I notice fewer wrinkles. Less static I think, too, but the dry winter air will be the true test." — Heather A Gunnerson Get a six-pack from Amazon for $32 (available in two pack sizes and seven styles). 25.

He's 2-years-old, and he is really enjoying having his on 'working' vacuum cleaner!!! He seriously plays with it for hours during the day.

It's really cute and creative. Battery life is pretty good. This product is also educational and teaches children how to memorize, create passcodes, and encourages saving. The durability is great; it hasn't broken yet after several drops. It is also a good/reasonable size. Recommend the product." — Ohdonn4 Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in 14 styles). 30. A bread plushy alarm clock, because it'll make getting up in the morning just a little easier (and enjoyable)! This toasty little guy will help you out on those days when you're feeling extra burnt out, and is a great way of practicing how to *not* get on your phone first thing in the morning! Amazon It also has a "vibrating" wake-up option, so instead of making noise it will just start vibrating in your arms to gently wake you. Promising review: "You may not know that you were missing a plush bread-shaped alarm clock in your life, but once you have it, you'll ask how you ever lived without it. This is, at it's very basic level, a stuffed animal (loaf of bread) with a vibrating alarm clock built inside. While the instruction are a little confusing, and the execution isn't perfect, it does what it is supposed to do. The audible alarm is pleasant. The vibrating alarm is strong. The stuffed bread is, well, super cute. You'll enjoy." — AIC Get it from Amazon for $29.98 (available in three styles). 31.
