Catch me if you can
Run time: 13.00 – 19.00
The UK has far fewer cancer survivors in comparison to most other European countries. There are multiple reasons for this, but one of the main drivers is late diagnosis.
One way we could improve levels of early detection is recognising symptoms associated with cancer in the primary care process, or when you see your GP.
Mike Cooke and his research team at the University of Exeter are attempting to understand how they could use health data to help doctors better identify patients at greater risk of cancer. Join them for an interactive experience that puts you in the middle of this big data. Challenge yourself to simulate these processes in primary care and help doctors detect signs of cancer early.
Please note that this event will include discussion of cancer.
