NHS will be able to diagnose cancer cases faster
- The NHS is rolling out Cancer 360, a new digital tool designed to centralize cancer patient data and speed diagnoses across England.
- This initiative responds to delays caused by fragmented spreadsheets and paper records, which previously risked missing vital patient information.
- Cancer 360 has been piloted successfully at Chelsea and Westminster and Royal United Hospital Bath, helping trusts meet diagnosis and treatment standards.
- Officials state that 75% of patients should get a diagnosis within 28 days and 85% begin treatment within 62 days, with Cancer 360 improving team efficiency and patient care.
- The Department of Health and Social Care expects Cancer 360 to benefit millions and reduce delays, contributing to a £26 billion NHS technology upgrade over the next decade.
