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.

"I started using LocumDeck as one of our GP locums used it. It was easy to see her availability and when bookings are made I get confirmation and can view them on the calendar too. When invoices are sent, I can see it on the site, and digitally sign pension forms (one of the best bits!). I can access it from home or my mobile which is useful as when I am not in surgery."

Debbie, Practice Manager, St Ives
