GPs Talk Cancer

Join two experienced GPs as they share their clinical knowledge and practical tips to support earlier cancer detection in primary care.


Dr Rebecca Leon and Dr Sarah Taylor bring their warmth, wit, and passion for earlier and faster cancer diagnosis. They discuss assessment, clinical decision making and the referral pathways they choose to get the best diagnosis and treatment. Rebecca and Sarah are regularly joined by special guests who are experts in particular cancer areas.


GPs Talk Cancer is brought to you by GatewayC, a national NHS-funded resource, dedicated to supporting primary care clinicians to improve early cancer detection.


Whilst this podcast may be of interest to everyone, it is aimed at primary care clinicians. Although all patient cases are based on real stories from clinical practice, they are fully anonymised with no identifiable patient data.


GPs Talk Cancer is released fortnightly on Tuesdays. Visit https://www.gatewayc.org.uk/ to learn more about GatewayC.
