SELCA recently launched a new education resource to support primary care professionals to identify patients who require an urgent suspected cancer referral. The online resource will comprise of seven bitesize modules, each focusing on a specific cancer or group of cancers, and can be completed within 10 minutes.
The first module on myeloma was released last month. The second module in the series is now available and aims to refresh professionals’ knowledge of lung cancer symptoms and enable colleagues to refer patients with confidence for cancer diagnostic testing.
As symptoms such as shoulder or back pain can potentially be a sign of lung cancer, we’re extending access to training module to physiotherapists with the aim of improving early diagnosis.
