Trainers’ Workshop NG12 - Suspected cancer: recognition and referral

Trainers’ Workshop NG12 - Suspected cancer: recognition and referral Recommendation 16: We recommend the following to take forward the new NICE guidelines: • NICE should work with organisations such as Cancer Research UK, the Royal College of GPs and Macmillan Cancer Support to disseminate and communicate the new referral guidelines to GP practices as quickly as possible.
