Summary

Sarah-Jane Mee is joined by Sir David Nicholson, who used to run the NHS in England, as they explore ‘How to fix the NHS’ - a new mini podcast series for 2024 from the Sky News Daily.

This time, Sarah-Jane and Sir David look at the innovations being made in cancer care – including the prospect of a simple blood test which could detect if someone has cells which are turning into cancer.

They’re joined by Lord Darzi of Denham, chair of surgery at the Institute of Cancer Research, who explains some of the opportunities which artificial intelligence could bring – particularly around reading mammogram results.
