We use AI to help doctors identify patients at risk of cancer at the earliest, most curable stage. 100,000+ patients with cancer detected in the NHS to date 💜
We're partnering with Royal College of Nursing - Company to bring you the RCN Cancer Forum Webinar: When Cancer Diagnosis Is Delayed - a session designed specifically for Advanced Nurse Practitioners on supporting safer diagnostic practice.

Our mission has always been to give people control of their own health, putting them on the right pathways at the right time - and this award serves as validation for that.
🧵- Early #cancer detection in primary care is often challenged by vague, non-specific symptoms.
Following implementation of C the Signs across Somerset ICB, patterns of diagnosis began to shift - with improved referral precision, a 10% cancer conversion rate, and a significant increase in early-stage diagnoses across multiple cancer types.
@CtheSignsSystem, a UK-developed, AI-powered clinical platform co-founded by King’s alum Dr Bea Bakshi & supported by @InnovateKings, is enabling the earliest & most accurate detection of cancer across more than 100 cancer types in its most curable stages.

On #WorldCancerDay, we’re proud to share that 70,000 patients with cancer have been identified via primary care - at the earliest possible moment, when it matters most 💜
Primary care is where cancer is hardest to recognise, symptoms are often vague, common, or easy to attribute to everyday illness. And yet, this is where the greatest opportunity for earlier understanding exists💡
Lung cancer can be difficult to spot early. Symptoms are often subtle, common, or easy to explain away - that’s why earlier understanding and intervention matters.
Through C the Signs, clinicians have now identified over 3,400 patients with lung cancer - helping people move onto the right pathway sooner, with more time and more options ⏱️
Earlier answers don’t create fear, they create clarity - and clarity changes what’s possible 💜

When cancer is caught earlier, there’s often more time to understand what’s happening, talk things through, and plan next steps with clarity and calm. That time matters - for patients, for families, for the life that continues alongside care 💜

Primary care teams asked for extra support to spot cancer earlier and bring more clarity to complex symptoms. The ICB listened, and this rollout reflects that shared commitment to safer, earlier diagnosis.

On my recent visit to Goldborne Medical Centre, I spoke with Dr Meena Nathan about the challenges her team is facing.
Kensington & Bayswater has some of the largest health inequalities in the country and I'm determined to tackle the root causes, like housing and access to community healthcare.
Such an important initiative! Strengthening primary care involvement is key to catching cancer early and ensuring patients get the care they need when it matters most.
