Learning sets - sharing experience of cancer awareness and early diagnosis

To see the slide presentations made by GP leads and cancer network directors at the learning sets and read articles about their presentations see Sharing and Learning: Engaging GPs and Primary Care here.

Also on the NCAT website you can read a guide that distills the experience of GP cancer leads and cancer network directors in engaging primary care in the early diagnosis agenda. The report is based on two rounds of learning sets held in 2011; one for cancer networks and one for PCT staff running cancer awareness projects being supported by Cancer Research UK.

A further round of sharing and learning sets took place in autumn 2011, looking at the public health contribution to engaging primary care in early diagnosis.
