Shaarna Shangamudavadivel is the HeadSmart fellow and currently doing her Ph.D. in how we can reduce diagnostic delays in the field of paediatric oncology. Paediatric cancers are rare but we’ll never pick them up if we are not aware of our unconscious biases, if we do not actively look for the zebras.
This talk was recorded live at DFTB19 in London, England. With the theme of “The Journey” we wanted to consider the journeys our patients and their families go on, both metaphorical and literal. .
