Podcast: GP update on bowel cancer

Experienced nurse Claire Coughlan, clinical lead for Bowel Cancer UK, presents the NASGP’s second webinar given at 1pm on Thursday 6 February.

The main aims of the talk were to give an overview of:

  • Bowel cancer and the red flag symptoms.
  • Use of qFIT in symptomatic patients.
  • The bowel cancer screening programme.
  • The diagnostic pathway.
  • Lynch Syndrome.
  • Bowel Cancer UK support services for GPs and patients.

Claire Coughlan is a consultant nurse in colorectal cancer with expertise in bowel cancer follow-up, genetics and symptom assessment. She is currently undertaking a PhD in the priorities for bowel cancer follow up care across diverse communities.

"Before I used LocumDeck, some practices used to ignore my terms and conditions and add bookings to their diaries that they hadn't confirmed with me. Now, my terms and conditions get sent out with every communication and I can confirm sessions by email really easily. I love having a paper trail that's easy to follow – no more endless hunts through random emails. "

Dr Paula N, GP
