HSE Talking Health and Wellbeing
Health & Fitness
In this episode of the HSE's Talking Health and Wellbeing podcast, Dr. Heather Burns discusses the importance of symptom awareness and early detection of cancer. Dr. Burns is a Consultant in Public Health Medicine and Public Health Lead for Early Detection of Cancer with the HSE National Cancer Control Programme. She notes that cancer is common in Ireland, with 1 in 2 people having a cancer diagnosis in their lifetime. Dr. Burns urges people to contact their GP if they notice any symptoms that are not normal for them and are not getting better, like a persistent cough, a change in bowel habit, a breast lump or unexplained weight loss. The episode covers the role of GPs in cancer referrals and the availability of rapid access clinics, emphasising the importance of education and proactive healthcare for early diagnosis. If you would like to know more about the issues discussed please go to the NCCP website. If you would like to order the resources discussed to help spread the messages around early diagnoses go to www.healthpromotion.ie and select ‘cancer’ in the search by topic option.
