What is The Greater Manchester Cancer Podcast?

Across cancer services in Greater Manchester, amazing work is happening every day. Frontline staff, managers, clinical leaders and people affected by cancer work together with the simple focus of making sure that every person throughout Greater Manchester is able to access a world class cancer service.

This podcast is all about sharing some of the work going on with the wider Greater Manchester Cancer workforce – that’s thousands of people across all areas of Greater Manchester, working in many different roles - and giving some of the fantastic people who do that work the opportunity to share their experiences with everyone.

In each episode, presenter Steve Bland (from the BBC podcast You, Me and the Big C) will focus on a different topic and talk to some amazing guests so if there's anyone you'd like to hear from or a topic you want to see covered, please get in touch.
