This is a new guideline from NICE on investigating and managing AAA. It was published in Mar 2020. The main things for us are being aware of who we should be encouraging screening for.
Screening is offered to all men in the year they turn 65.
Inform all men of 66 or more that screening for AAA is available and that they can self-refer. Details on how to self-refer can be found on the NHS website.
"I really like LocumDeck. Before, I was doing everything myself. It was a nightmare! Keeping a record of who has paid, chasing them – with LocumDeck, all that goes away. All you have to do is just book your sessions and work.
Doing remote sessions through LocumDeck has also been a very nice experience. The practices assign the patients very thoughtfully, considering the limitation of remote consultation, and I have developed a very good working relationships with them."
