WINNER: Lancashire & South Cumbria Cancer Alliance for GP Education to Ensure Optimisation of Skin Cancer Pathways in Lancashire & South Cumbria

Summary

Lancashire and South Cumbria Cancer Alliance (LSCCA) conducted research with stakeholders to identify opportunities to enhance referral practices for skin cancer and identify areas for improvement. This led to the development of short, GP educational videos focusing on dermatology conditions and skin cancer recognition. These have increased confidence in diagnosing dermatology conditions and skin cancer, resulting in a reduction in urgent suspected skin cancer referrals.
