In GPs Talk Cancer, Dr Rebecca Leon and Dr Sarah Taylor take a coffee break to share their clinical experiences and knowledge of diagnosing cancer in primary care. With warmth, wit and a passion for earlier and faster cancer diagnosis, they discuss how they assess patients, and the decisions and referral pathways they choose to get the best diagnosis and treatment. They also share relevant statistics.
Each episode Rebecca and Sarah are joined by junior doctor colleague Dr Ellen Macpherson, or by a special guest, to focus on a particular cancer. Rebecca and Sarah are both GP Leads for GatewayC and passionate about improving early cancer diagnosis.
