Dr Sarah Bull on how a rapid diagnostic clinic for cancer symptoms helps speed up diagnosis

In this episode of the Clinical Update podcast, Dr Sarah Bull talks to MIMS Learning editor Pat Anderson about her experience of running a diagnostic clinic for non-site specific symptoms suggestive of cancer.
She describes how GPs make referrals to the clinic, what happens there and how the clinic can speed up cancer diagnosis.
Through case studies, she presents learning points for GPs on when to consider referral to non-site-specific diagnostic services, and how to prevent patients from `falling through the net’.
After listening to this podcast, healthcare professionals should be better able to:
Recall why non-site-specific services are important
Understand how to make a referral and which tests should be performed beforehand
Recall on what happens in the clinic
Reflect on the case studies presented
