Description: In this educational episode, Naman Julka-Anderson and Jo McNamara sit down with Dr Sola Adeleke, an oncology registrar based at Guy’s Hospital in London. He completed a PhD in cancer magnetic resonance imaging at the University College London, focused on developing novel MRI techniques such as MRI fingerprinting, whole body MRI and novel low field MRI techniques for cancer applications. Although this episode is focused on a true passion, making cancer services and technology accessible to patients in Low and Middle-Income Countries.
CPD Reflection Points:
- Reflect on the role of global partnerships, local training, and telemedicine in addressing the disparities in access to acute oncology services. How can these tools be used effectively without reinforcing dependence, or widening the equity gap?
- Reflect on how acute oncology care can be ethically prioritised in resource-limited settings. What guiding principles should inform decisions when life saving cancer treatments are unaffordable or unavailable?
