This second instalment of our Diagnosis Trilogy begins with a deeply personal announcement from one of our trio, highlighting the numerous layers of complexity and contributing factors surrounding diagnosis - especially for women.

This sets the team up for further discussion where Lesley and Gail share with us what they have to consider as assessors, their opinions on the tools they have to use, and some of the feedback and reactions they've encountered over the years - including a little about Alexandra's first encounter with them!

As this episode ends on a note of 'must do better'...make sure you tune in for the final part of the trilogy as they dissect the deepest parts of the process and get intimate with some of those stereotypes, in what can only be described as the most revealing episode yet...
