Personalised care is fundamental to delivering better quality care that is meaningful to the individual, supporting improvements in health and wellbeing. This will also help to empower people to manage their care and the impact of their cancer. Everyone is different and will have different concerns when they are diagnosed with cancer; therefore we need to ensure that patients are treated as people and they have the opportunity to discuss all of their concerns, whether during a hospital appointment or with their GP, and get the support they need.
In Greater Manchester, we have a large programme of work looking at all aspects of personalised care, and this new series of the GM Cancer Podcast will look at some of the specific areas that we’re working on.
This episode looks at genomics - what does it mean and more importantly, how does it help our patients? We also explore the difference between somatic and germline mutations and how they impact cancer care, and how we make sure all patients have access to genomic testing.
The guests on this episode are:
Dr Matthew Krebs, Cancer Genomics Lead, NorthWest Genomics Laboratory Hub
Steph Gooder, Macmillan Lead Cancer Nurse, Tameside & Glossop Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust
