Rebecca and Sarah are joined by Dr. Caroline Wilson, Consultant in Medical Oncology at The Christie, to discuss acute oncology emergencies in primary care. They break down the three types of acute oncology patients, offer practical strategies for managing treatment toxicities and share guidance on recording cancer treatments in patient records. They also tackle the importance of empowering patients to know their drugs, navigating the UKONS guidelines and recognising when to initiate advanced care planning—especially with new statistics on prognosis after emergency oncology admissions.
