Three key pieces of the primary care puzzle around earlier cancer diagnosis

In this episode, editor Pat Anderson and deputy editor Rhiannon Ashman explain why MIMS Learning has chosen the topic of earlier cancer diagnosis for its 2025 campaign, and the 3 key elements - patient, presentation and pathway - that the campaign will address.
Earlier cancer diagnosis is a national priority, and the campaign aims to help GPs to have a positive influence where they can, during consultations and within referral processes, to ensure the best outcomes for patients.
