This is new guidance from NICE on the use of FIT testing in general practice. It was published in August 2023.
In many areas, this guidance will already be being used.
It also mirrors the guidance that came out from the British Society of Gastroenterology last year, which I blogged on. That blog has a lot of useful information on the reasoning behind the guidance, if you want to have a look.

Video: IBD – what do GPs need to know?
Watch Crohns and Colitis UK’s Dr Charlie Andrews present clinical advice to NASGP members as part of our series of monthly clinical events.
IBD GP update event scheduled for February
GPs can attend ‘IBD: what do GPs need to know?’ for free, presented by Dr Kevin Barrett next month on behalf of Crohns & Colitis UK.
"The NASGP and the GP locum chambers that I'm in have provided invaluable assistance both before and through Covid-19 to me as a full-time GP locum. All aspects of locum work have been made easier as a result of membership and the chamber's support structure - from accessing work, to ensuring invoicing and documentation is all sorted, and access to other locums as peer support. Having a chamber manager means I feel more secure and can devote more of my energy on my clinical work."
Dr Richard Smith, GP, Suffolk
