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.

"The NASGP and the GP locum chambers that I'm in have provided invaluable assistance both before and through Covid-19 to me as a full-time GP locum. All aspects of locum work have been made easier as a result of membership and the chamber's support structure - from accessing work, to ensuring invoicing and documentation is all sorted, and access to other locums as peer support. Having a chamber manager means I feel more secure and can devote more of my energy on my clinical work."
