Ovarian Cancer – Early Diagnosis

This session will be delivered by representative from Ovacome, Ovarian Cancer Charity, alongside Karina Bidiss and Victoria Clare and is suitable for GPNs
Ovarian cancer is predominantly diagnosed at late stage in the UK and we have some of the poorest survival outcomes in Europe. Over 40% of women were diagnosed through presenting at A&E and many myths exist around diagnosis and symptoms. This training sessions will cover:

Signs and symptoms
Information about the disease that you need to know
Diagnosis, hereditary risk
Debunking myths
What treatment pathways follow diagnosis
Available support for you and patients
The local picture – what we know and what we want to see locally
Give you resources and information to pass on to your patients and their family members
Resources for patients who may face barriers to diagnosis (such as living in poverty, having low literacy or English as a second language)

This is an interactive session and you will be expected to interact. Please ensure you have a camera and microphone available to attend the meeting.
