As part of our ‘spotlight on neuroendocrine cancer’ campaign which aims to raise awareness of neuroendocrine cancer among healthcare professionals, we have been working with the Primary Care Society of Gastroenterology to raise awareness of neuroendocrine cancer for GPs. We are delighted that this month they have featured Dr David Bartlet, a retired GP, neuroendocrine cancer patient and past trustee of Neuroendocrine Cancer UK on their INGEST podcast.
He discusses his experience of neuroendocrine cancer as both a GP and a patient including the challenges he faced in getting his diagnosis. The podcast highlights key learning areas for GP’s to be aware of when it comes to neuroendocrine cancer and other less common conditions.
This is the second podcast they have done on neuroendocrine cancer, earlier this year, Prof Mark Pritchard, consultant gastroenterologist and chair of the UK & Ireland Neuroendocrine Tumour Society discussed what GPs should know about the disease.
This is a wonderful opportunity to highlight neuroendocrine cancer and raise awareness among GPs with the aim of supporting GPs to be able to recognise potential neuroendocrine cancer patients earlier and so enable those patients to be diagnosed faster and more accurately.
Please help us and share this with your GP! Just search for ‘Ingest’ on whatever platform you listen to your podcasts or go here Neuroendocrine Cancer – The Expert Patient – PCSG
