Covid in 2021 & a blood test that claims to detect cancer early
2020 was awful but what about 2021? James Gallagher talks to Neil Ferguson and it's not all bad news.
2020 was awful. So what about 2021?
I chat with Prof Neil Ferguson to see how this year could play out and when life might return to normal. Cardiologist Dr Rohin Francis and cancer nurse Aly Foyle are both back to share their experiences of coping during Covid.
I promise you, it’s not all bad news.
And our own Dr Margaret McCartney, alongside Cancer Research UK’s Jodie Moffat, scrutinises a new blood test that promises to find cancer early.
It's a good programme, James.
