I learnt about a multidisciplinary meeting, comprising surgeons, oncologists, radiologists, radiation oncologists and pathologists.

When I asked if I could attend, as one of my patients would be discussed, I had to talk to several people before I got permission. I suppose that mine was an unusual request these days.

I arrived early to the 8am meeting, when only one other member of the team was there. It happened to be the surgeon who was presenting the case.

“I am so happy you are here. It is so nice to see a GP interested in coming.”
