This is what should happen - clinical guideline & diagnosis

Postby Rose Woodward on Fri Jan 15, 2010 5:46 pm

The Map of Medicione is an NHS website which provides all UK agreed patient pathways - the process that should be followed if you present to the GP with what they think could be a suspected cancer ........... you can check it out here to see who you should see , how you will be referred, and how long it should take to be seen. If you are NOT seen within these guidelines then you need to print them out go to the GP or Consultant and ask why you are not being seen according to agreed guidelines and targets.

click each box to bring up more information and follow it through to where the principle for the process originated.

Any queries post them up here and I'll do my best to get answers for you if your Hoslpital cannot tell you what you need to know..

Take care,

Rose,

I just don't know where you find the information or the time to post it. You are a mine of information, it's just a shame that these things are not easily found. Keep up the good work, we would be lost without you.!
