Review Survey- Rapid Diagnosis Service - Non-Specific Symptoms (NSS) pathway

Patient Experience Survey

 

Dear Patient

The Non-Specific Symptoms (NSS) pathway is a new pathway to enable to rapid diagnosis of patients who go to see their GP about symptoms such as unexplained weight loss, fatigue, abdominal pain, or nausea. These non-specific symptoms do not suggest a particular cancer and so this pathway enables appropriate investigations and tests to be completed to reduce the time to a diagnosis; most patients on this pathway will not be diagnosed with cancer. 


The NSS pathway is a pilot funded for 4 years and would need to be reviewed for ongoing service development and ongoing funding. We are hoping to find out if the service is helpful and evidence the value of the service. We would value your opinion whether positive or negative about the service, by completing this short survey. 

Please do not share personal information, such as names of staff members or services, in your answers.

 
Thank you for taking the time to complete this survey.
