What a great day it was at RCSI PRiCAN (Primary Care Research into Cancer) Symposium! Patrick Redmond kicked of the morning with insights on #primarycare role in #cancercare & the gains to be made through creating a pragmatic #clinicaltrials ecosystem in Ireland 👏 #CancerResearch

Great few days hosted by the Organisation of European Cancer Institutes #CCI4EU team in Brussels. Different teams from Ireland and around Europe sharing experiences. Lots of interest in our Breakthrough Cancer Research funded programme at PRiCAN (Primary Care Research into Cancer) in RCSI on early detection & designing new pathways.

Just finished a fantastic few days at #CaPRI2025 in Manchester—excellent discussions on early diagnosis, risk prediction, and primary care innovation. Thanks to Sam Merriel and the organising team for a well-run event (and the sunshine!).Well done PRiCAN (Primary Care Research into Cancer) team.
