GPs discuss the challenges of diagnosing bladder cancer in women, focusing on how urinary symptoms can often be mistakenly attributed to UTIs, leading to delayed diagnosis. The episode explores the importance of urine testing, recognizing microscopic and frank haematuria, coding results correctly, and knowing when to refer, as well as the need for effective communication and follow-up with patients.
