Great read on really patient focussed thinking for diagnosis which is easily lost when seeking urgency or compliance with access standards and targets @NCAlliance_NHS @NCARDC @GMRDCs

[Greater Manchester Cancer Alliance @GM_Cancer]

Worried about cancer? Experiencing symptoms that aren't normal for you? It's important to contact your GP if this is they case - they want to hear from you.

It could be nothing to worry about, but it's important to discuss with your doctor.

Great news as the Northern Care Alliance RDC went live today. The RDC pathway will be delivered 4 days a week across two sites initially: Mondays and Fridays at Salford Royal, and Tuesdays and Thursdays at Rochdale Infirmary, both in a Covid-secure pathway.

[Northern Care Alliance Rapid Diagnostic Centre @NCARDC]

The NCA RDC nursing team successfully completed their first trail this week with a patient representative! In these unprecedented times we are committed to delivering a revolutionary pathway with access to a faster diagnosis and providing excellent patient care!
