Referral guidelines for suspected cancer

Have just been published by NICE and are available from their website. There is a set of Powerpoint slides to be used in conjunction with the guidelines, also available from the NICE site.

An article in Nursing Times (12-18 July, p. 26-) looks at the implications for nurses of these guidelines.

The University of Leicester's branch of the National Collaborating Centre for Primary Care was involved in writing the guidelines, and so there is a report in the University's ebulletin also.
