And and uh one thing that we sort of didn't get into but we talked about it afterwards was was um um you know the kind of challenge sometimes of getting a GP appointment, what the options are for the uh uh uh the online forms you can fill in.
Um just uh talk boomy from a GP's perspective.
Yeah.
you know, kind of your contact with men, um uh uh more generally perhaps than just prostate cancer, your contact with men, um uh uh uh in general, why it is that y you know, you think that we are so reluctant maybe to come forward sometimes with different symptoms and and the options maybe if they do find it hard to get in touch with their GP.
I think we're more willing to use busyness as a as an excuse.
I think that's what it is.
Like we're no more busy.
We're probably less busy if we're being very honest, but we're we're much more willing to use it as an excuse.
Paul, who is the uh communication uh communications and engagement lead at the Alliance here, he was talking about uh great comparison.
He he said he was trying to get oasis tickets and you and you'll happily sit on the on the phone for eight hours, uh uh
But if you phone your GP and it's and it's immediately unavailable, you're like, right, I've done that.
That's ticked.
Fantastic.
I won't try that again.
I've I'll just I'll just tell my you know, my own psyche that I've done it.
And I think that's the kind of thing with you know, with the uh a G P appointments, isn't it?
That we're yeah, like I say, we're no we're no more busy, but we're just we're just happy to kind of satisfy ourselves that we've tried.
And on top of the challenge of getting men to the GP Rishi, you guys have got the cultural challenges, the d uh uh the inequalities, the diversity in this part of the world that we've touched on a little bit before.
But what what specific uh challenges do they bring in terms of getting people into the door to see Boomi in the first place?
But you are doing plenty of work in this area, aren't you?
