Join C the Signs in collaboration with the Royal College of Nursing for a free webinar exploring how primary care teams can improve early cancer diagnosis through clinical vigilance, practical education, and digital decision support.
Cancer remains one of the leading causes of death in the UK, with nearly 50% diagnosed at a late stage. This session explores the vital role of nurses in identifying patients at risk - even when symptoms are vague or non-specific — and offers practical tools to support timely triage and referral.
This session is for:
Practice nurses, advanced nurse practitioners, healthcare assistants, and any primary care clinician involved in the early identification or management of patients at risk of cancer.
What you’ll learn:
- Challenges of early diagnosis in primary care
- NICE cancer guidelines - how they apply in real-world practice
- Case studies on FIT, PSA, cervical screening, post-menopausal bleeding, and more
- The role of every team member in identifying and escalating cancer risk
- How clinical decision support tools like C the Signs help streamline assessment and referrals
- Short Q&A at the end for a few questions.
