29 Reorganising weekly rapid access lung cancer clinic into daily could help to implement best practice timed lung cancer pathway and meet faster diagnosis standard

Despite the lung pathway mapping work undertaken in recent years, implementing best practice time lung cancer pathway and achieving faster diagnosis standard (FDS) remains a challenge. Current set up of rapid access lung cancer clinics on certain fixed week days still leaves a gap when patients would be waiting for an appointment despite the CT scan results available. Aim: To evaluate impact of setting daily lung cancer clinic on lung cancer pathway times.
