Bowel Cancer UK is holding its first ever primary care virtual education event on Thursday, 19 June at 6.30pm-7.30pm.
The session will be led by Claire Coughlan, clinical lead at Bowel Cancer UK and nurse consultant in colorectal cancer at Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust. Claire will be joined by Dr Anisha Patel, GP and stage 3 rectal cancer survivor who will deliver a short session exploring cancer care reviews within primary care.
The event will provide an overview of colorectal cancer, its risk factors and red flag symptoms. As well as the use of FIT in symptomatic patients within primary care and the bowel cancer screening programme as a route to diagnosis. It will also outline the diagnostic pathway and address the importance of earlier diagnosis.
