    We are two doctors working as General Practitioners ( family physicians) and have created a podcast called 'In A Nutshell: The Plant-based Health Professionals UK Podcast' in order to promote the evidence for plant-based nutrition to health care providers and the general public.

    Dr Clare Day has worked as an NHS GP in a range of settings including community and prison healthcare, having qualified as a doctor in 2011.

    Prior to studying Graduate Medicine she studied Science Communication and Policy, joined the Civil Service and worked at HM Treasury as a Policy Advisor.

    She has been vegan for a number of years and is convinced of the benefits for long term health of eating whole food plant based. Explanations of how dietary change can help long term conditions is something she tries to put at the very centre of consultations with curious patients. She also does plant-based teaching for trainee GPs and colleagues. Like the rest of us she is learning everyday about food and health, and most importantly the barriers to change for individuals. With her podcast co-host GP Dr Daisy Lund, she hopes to bring on board more healthcare professionals and individuals to support patients in dietary change.

    Dr Daisy Lund is a practising GP with over 20 years’ experience of working in the NHS. She is a GP trainer and medical educator at Imperial College in London.

    Dr Lund has an interest in preventative medicine and holistic health and incorporates diet and lifestyle into her consultations. She has completed the Plant-Based Nutrition Certificate at the University of Winchester and is passionate about nutrition education for health care professionals. Together with a GP colleague, Dr Clare Day, she co-hosts ‘In a Nutshell’ the Plant Based Health Professionals UK podcast'.

    Today’s event will be hosted by Chad Bonfiglio MS, MBA who has a background in molecular cellular biology, and unlike all too many in the sciences, actually enjoys speaking and interacting with people. Chad takes pride in being able to refine complex scientific topics into easily understandable language that anyone can understand.

    Today we will be discussing the entire cancer care continuum from screening and diagnosis, to improving treatment outcomes through precision medicine, and how to better assess remission. There will be a brief presentation, followed by an open question and answer session.

    A few of the specific topics that we will be discussing will include the following:
    Cancer Screening: Has the holy grail of screening for multiple cancer types through a blood draw arrived and is it accurate?
    Removing the Need for Surgical Biopsies: Does a surgical procedure still to be performed to diagnose cancer?

    Improving Treatment Outcomes Through Precision Medicine: Is receiving the same trial and error based treatment as everyone else the only choice?

    Making Sure You Are in Remission: Is infrequent medical imaging and non-specific bloodwork the only way to know if the cancer has returned?

    Datar Cancer Genetics is an award winning global leader in blood based technologies that allows cancer to be accurately diagnosed, improves treatment outcomes, and better analyzes remission.

    The company’s tests, which have received 3 FDA breakthrough designations, are available in over 40 countries and only require a simple blood draw that can be performed by any medical professional.
