❓Should we stop relying on verbal interventions like safety netting to manage diagnostic uncertainty? I wrote an editorial summing up what we know and what to do instead in @BMJ_Qual_Saf @QMUL_WIPH tinyurl.com/5yh4k5t2

🧵Our paper @StephJCTaylor @pingguo1501 @NikolaosEfstat2 in @bjgpopen is out now: bjgpopen.org/content/early/2…
(2nd paper from Master's)
TL:DR - we asked primary care clinicians what they did re cancer care: lots!
@sandradyer_05 @AnthonyCunliffe @LesleyLesleys @afibhu @nadakhan
ALT External pressures: appointment availability, people and time resources, political will, professional expertise and knowledge, functioning and resourcing of community and specialist teams. What primary care does: care co-ordination, short term treatment effects, detecting recurrence, end of life care, social needs/prescribing, suspected cancer referral, partner/family support, holistic care, explaining cancer diagnosis, signposting for financial support, continuity of care, late treatment effects. Cancer care reviews.
