GPCanShare Success

“

“This has been the most useful service I’ve come across and the thing is, it's hard to sell services to GPs. They’re so under the hammer but once you know about the service, you can really help facilitate people’s treatment. It also saves you time because the coordinators do pick the ball up.”

GP
“

“It gives you more ease and reassurance with the appointments, what is required of you before specialist appointments and it’s easier to liaise with the team on any matter whatsoever.”

Patient
“

“It helps to build my confidence and encourages positiveness, should be offered to all patients.”
