Acute Oncology – "We keep going back to the cancer care review..."

Rebecca and Sarah are joined by Dr. Caroline Wilson, Consultant in Medical Oncology at The Christie, to discuss acute oncology emergencies in primary care. They break down the three types of acute oncology patients, offer practical strategies for managing treatment toxicities and share guidance on recording cancer treatments in patient records. They also tackle the importance of empowering patients to know their drugs, navigating the UKONS guidelines and recognising when to initiate advanced care planning—especially with new statistics on prognosis after emergency oncology admissions.If you loved this episode and would like to hear more like this, please send your review to [email protected] and share the series with a colleague.GPs Talk Cancer is the podcast series from GatewayC.
