I’m really looking forward to speaking at #MIMSLearningLiveSouth on Friday 13 June 2025 at ILEC Conference Centre in London!
I’ll be presenting on early cancer diagnosis, and I can’t wait to connect with fellow healthcare professionals, share insights, discuss challenges, & learn from each other

Join us for the launch event on 16 July with Prof. Richard Simcock – let’s shape the future of GP cancer care together.

Our success stories are a true testament to the power of collaboration and innovation. A huge thank you to our dedicated teams, partners, and patients for making this achievement possible. Here’s to continuing to make a positive impact in cancer care for many more years to come! 🌟

In these 5 years, we’ve diagnosed over 900 cancers, received fantastic patient satisfaction, and helped patients achieve a fast and streamlined diagnosis to 1000s of others including those with serious non-malignant diagnoses

🎉 **Celebrating 5 Years of Rapid Diagnostic Cancer Clinics!** 🎉

It’s rare to celebrate like this in the NHS, and it has been fantastic to mark 5 years of the Rapid Diagnostic Cancer Clinics across RM Partners Cancer Alliance in North West and South West London! 🏥💙

And now to spend my evening reading #YuvalNoahHarari Nexus: A Brief History of Information Networks from the Stone Age to AI which couldn’t be better timed 📖

🤳Social media as a platform to target health inequity
🤳Foster innovation diversity for better outcomes and system-level change
🤳Co-production with patients and lived experience input is vital
🤳Use AI to enhance, not replace, human interaction in diagnosis and management

🤳Trust is a cornerstone of health data sharing—to be considered a social determinant of health
🤳AI should aim to make care more effective and effiecent as the main outcome
🤳There are 270,000 digital health apps available, we need to bring these together into holistic health platforms

🤳Data inequities: digital health systems risk further widening health inequity taking assumptions from poor quality data; is AI = “Automating Inequity”
🤳Digital exclusion: those earning <£20k are least likely to have access to smartphones, excluding these from innovation and data collection

🤳Early-phase discovery is key—ask questions, don’t go in with answers
🤳Focus on riskiest assumptions
🤳Start with the digitally excluded as the foundation for innovation
AI is a tool for better care, but human connection remains critical

Key takeaways:
🤳Clinical leadership and user coproduction is essential for AI integration in healthcare
🤳Outcomes should prioritise what matters most to patients (e.g., intimacy, mobility)
🤳Involve the whole system to avoid pressure effects elsewhere (e.g., social care)

Heading home from a fantastic two days at Future Health at BMJ Future Health #BMJFH conference 🗣️
It’s been a great opportunity to network and explore AI's potential in healthcare

But how can we develop these technologies without exacerbating health inequities?

Today I took 30 minutes out of my day to read this fantastic report; time well spent & thoroughly recommend.
How we can make a world with zero cancer deaths 📖

Can you imagine a world with zero cancer deaths? And what would it take to get there?
