Sheffield Teaching Hospital’s urgent suspected cancer (USC) dermatology pathway has been redesigned to deliver faster patient care by optimising referral quality. Since December 2024, over 13,000 referrals have been reviewed, resulting in a significant improvement in waiting list performance.
At Consultant Connect, we are committed to helping ease the burden of delivering timely and effective care for patients on urgent suspected cancer pathways.
The Suspected Head & Neck Cancer messaging service was launched in May 2023 to all clinicians in North Central London ICB. We caught up with the Lead Head & Neck and Thyroid Clinical Nurse Specialist who manages the line, and a GP who used the line to find out more.
