Tumour Site Specific Resources

West Midlands Cancer Alliance and the regional screening team have been working together to gain accurate data for local Breast Screening rounds.

This enables information to be accessed by GP’s more easily whenever they need to know about local screening data for their patients.

West Midlands Cancer Alliance has jointly created a new series of educational videos on benign skin lesions in collaboration with GatewayC.

The aim of these videos is to support and upskill GPs in recognising benign skin lesions, helping to reduce unnecessary referrals into skin cancer pathways and improve patient access for those who need specialist assessment.

The Brain Tumour Charity has launched Headsmart GP, an evidence-based toolkit for primary care teams.

It is being piloted in the West Midlands and is endorsed by the West Midlands Cancer Alliance.Every year, 13,000 people are diagnosed with a brain tumour in the UK.

This short training video presented by Martin Sintler, Breast Pathway Lead, provides clear, practical guidance for primary care professionals on how to carry out a sensitive and effective breast pain examination.

CRUK have developed a Bowel Grid tool which maps interventions to improve uptake across demographic groups experiencing inequalities (based on UK-wide data and evidence).

This information pack aims to improve the awareness and understanding of the risk factors, signs and symptoms of pancreatic cancer. It is targeted towards primary and community care colleagues and includes a range of learning resources, guidance and supporting materials.
