The NICE FIT study was awarded the @BJSurgery Prize by @ACPGBI yesterday.
This study was only successful because of a huge collaboration of researchers, and the generosity of our patients.
Please retweet and tag (with pictures) any of the people that made this study a sucess.

@stevenbollipo , @nicefitteam@muti192 have researched the diagnostic accuracy of FIT in rectal bleeding in over and have submitted our results to @my_ueg for presentation in Barcelona. Surprising results, esp re: false postivity! #colorectalresearch
Its bowel cancer awareness month and our FIT bowel cancer study aims to improve diagnosis. Read @croydonhealth FIT trial manager Carlene Parchment’s blog to find out why she loves running this study. https://t.co/9exnpeGLWm @nicefitteam#thisisbowelcancer@bowelcanceruk
@HeywoodNick@BritSocGastro@ACPGBI@rcgp Without the results of @nicefitteam study we don’t understand the distribution of FIT in our symptomatic population. I would hope to use FIT to stratify risk and organise appropriately timed investigations in the future for these patients #colorectalresearch
I'm having a run of GP referrals of symptomatic patients having FIT testing. What is the point of screening a symptomatic patient who clearly needs investigations? Isnt it a waste of a test? @BritSocGastro@ACPGBI@rcgp
Brilliant and honest talk on available evidence on lights and shadows of functional outcomes of #TaTME by @debby_keller#ACM19
First longer term functional data on BJS!
@drterrysimpson@SWexner@Medical_history@GongGasGirl FIT has diagnostic accuracy equivalent or better than colonoscopy for CRC. No morbidity, no time off work, no pain and it's cheap. There may be no need for colonoscopy in pts who are low risk, or asymptomatic.
