Impact of the CRUK GP clinical leadership programme
Our influencing work with decision makers aims for greater emphasis on the early diagnosis of cancer. CRUK GPs provide regional clinical leadership by ensuring there is GP input into decisions affecting early diagnosis. They offer support through sharing best practice, strategic primary care resources and educational materials.
CRUK GPs:
- Provide primary care strategic, clinical advice and leadership to support decision making and strategic planning at local, regional and national level
- Ensure the most effective development and delivery of cancer work plans
- Provide clinical leadership to local GP cancer leads, providing educational support and advice to reduce variation, supporting innovation and sharing best practice
