In this episode we're talking about the C Word and breaking the silence around cancer as host Steve Bland is joined by Paul Thomas, Communications and Engagement Manager at the North East London Cancer Alliance, to explore the role of communications in cancer and how conversations can save lives.

It’s good to talk. Yet despite incredible advances in cancer diagnosis, treatment and care, “the C word” remains one of the hardest topics to talk about. But could breaking that silence be the key to saving lives?

In this powerful episode, host Steve sits down with Paul to explore how fear, stigma and silence still shape the way we deal with cancer.

From encouraging early GP visits and screening uptake, to creating safe spaces for people to open up, they dive into why conversations really matter, and how we can all play a part in changing the narrative.

Whether you're personally affected or work in healthcare, this episode sheds light on what’s working, what’s not, and what we can all do to help people get the right support at the right time.
