One in two of us will receive a cancer diagnosis at some point during our lives, but your outcomes will be significantly impacted by the inequalities that you may experience. @sammerriel.bsky.social is working on doing something about that. #healthierfuturesuom #fairerhealthforall #oneintwo

A common assumption is that the majority of men with #ProstateCancer have no symptoms, but this study of PSA testing in #PrimaryCare demonstrates the reverse is true doi.org/10.3399/BJGP... @sammerriel.bsky.social 

Good to speak to fellow @bjgp.bsky.social associate editor @sammerriel.bsky.social about use of the PSA test in asymptomatic men in #primarycare. Listen to the BJGP podcast for tips for clinical practice from his research here 👉🏽 bjgplife.com/episode-197-...

In the news 📰 "There is a “large variation” between GP surgeries when it comes to the use of a prostate cancer test for men who have no signs of the disease, according to a study." - @the-independent.com Dr @sammerriel.bsky.social, GP and NIHR Clinical Lecturer is the lead author on the study.

Great to speak to @peteredwards.bsky.social for the @bjgp.bsky.social podcast about safety netting in general practice. Some great tips for practice - listen here! 👇 bjgplife.com/episode-196-...
