24 Achieving the 28 day faster diagnosis standard

Following on from the introduction of the 28-day faster diagnosis standard in 2021, University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire have implemented several changes to the department to facilitate the achievement of the target. After a fall in demand for the lung cancer services during the COVID pandemic, a significant increase in referrals has been seen. Despite this, the average number of patients seen over a 12-month period within the 28-day target has increased from 47.3% to 75.4% from the years 2022 to 2023.
