South East London Cancer Alliance’s (SELCA) education resource supports primary care professionals to identify patients who require an urgent suspected cancer referral. The online resource comprises seven bitesize modules, each focussing on a specific cancer or group of cancers, and can be completed within 10 minutes.

The module on pancreatic cancer is now available and aims to refresh professionals’ knowledge of pancreatic cancer symptoms and enable colleagues to refer patients with confidence for cancer diagnostic testing.

Patients frequently present to general practice with a range of undifferentiated symptoms that may or may not signify serious disease.

RCGP’s course helps GPs to make sense of the early symptoms that could be explained by pancreatic cancer. Using video-based scenarios, it reviews the patterns of symptoms that emerge over time, which can suggest a serious underlying diagnosis, and sets out an approach that GPs can take to ensure appropriate and timely investigation and follow-up in cases of diagnostic uncertainty.
