Great discussion at yesterday’s APPG on Prostate Cancer meeting w @sammerriel.bsky.social, Bunmi Olajide, Carl Armstrong & Wayne Perkins on improving prostate cancer diagnosis in primary care – from better data coding to clearer GP guidance. Thanks to chair @calvinbailey.bsky.social & all who joined

Today’s decision on screening is profoundly concerning. Black men and men with a family history still won’t be offered screening, despite facing some of the highest risks and worst outcomes.

This isn’t good enough.
