Bonus: Jess' Rule with Andrea Brady

GPs Rebecca Leon and Sarah Taylor are joined by Andrea Brady, Jess's mum, to discuss the origins and impact of Jess Rule "three strikes and we rethink" which urges GPs to fully reassess cases when a patient presents three times with persistent or worsening symptoms. This episode explores Jess's journey, the importance of continuity in care, and practical steps for primary care teams to improve early cancer diagnoses through reflection, review, and rethinking. The conversation highlights the power of listening to patients, safety netting, and working beyond the guidelines to save lives.
