    Episode 2: Improving cancer care, the value of collaboration.

    With the number of people surviving cancer increasing, it is vital that primary care adapts to better support their patients living with and beyond cancer. In this episode, we speak with a Macmillan GP, a General Practice Nurse and the Lead Nurse for the Training Hub in Sutton CCG. We find out how they have, through collaborative working, successfully improved the quality of cancer care for patients living in Sutton, in particular, developing the role of the general practice nurse to support this change. We will be exploring in detail how collaborative working and education has supported the primary care workforce within Sutton CCG to better support their patients and share learning on how a multi strand approach can be adopted by other CCGs.

Clare is leading on Cancer as a long-term condition for their practice and is managing cancer care reviews and prostate stratified follow-up for their patients. This episode explains how Clare took on this role with Zaitun’s support, and the tools they use to ensure both the safety of patients living with cancer and the delivery of truly personalised care.
