“It has been a huge decision to step down from the position of CEO, but I know that by freeing up my time, it means that I will be able to more effectively advocate for all those affected by pancreatic cancer and fight to improve early diagnosis of the disease,” she said.
“I have devoted the last 16 years of my life fighting to improve survival rates for pancreatic cancer, which has just a 7.9% five-year survival rate in the UK, and I am very proud to be considered an expert thought leader by doctors, scientists, and politicians in the UK and abroad.”
She added that news on her replacement will be announced “very soon”.
