Our GP on the Radio! 📻

This morning, Dr Millie Saunders, one of our GPs and part of Belper PCN , joined BBC Radio Derby to talk about breast awareness and breast cancer.

Dr Saunders explained that it’s not about checking in one “perfect” way or on a specific day, but about getting to know what’s normal for you. That way, you’re more likely to spot any new or persistent changes in your breasts, chest wall, armpit or up towards the collarbone.

She used the simple TLC message:

👉 T – Touch: Get to know how your breasts or chest normally feel.
👉 L – Look: Notice how they usually look, including the skin and ni***es.
👉 C – Check: If you notice anything new or unusual – a lump, swelling, skin dimpling, redness, ni**le changes or discharge – contact your GP.

Dr Saunders also highlighted that breast cancer can affect men as well as women, and that any age can be affected, so it’s important for everyone to be breast aware.

We are incredibly lucky to have Dr Saunders working with us at Whitemoor and Belper PCN, bringing her experience with complex, long‑term problems and her passion for prevention and early diagnosis to our patients and community.

🎧 You can listen back to the interview via BBC Radio Derby – just search for the programme and look for the breast awareness segment.

A huge thank you to the BBC Radio Derby team for inviting Dr Saunders and helping to raise awareness of this vital topic.
