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.

"I started my career as a GP locum last year a week after CCT. I strongly agree with the doctors who praise the NASGP team. If there is no NASGP, there would be no GP locum called Dr Darshanie Seneviratne.
The team is absolutely amazing especially Dr Richard Fieldhouse, Ali Lewis and Jacqui Gumbrell – all providing unbelievable support to us. I've never seen such urgent assistance from any other team at any point in my career. For example when one of my invoices was delayed by a month and a half, Ali was incredibly supportive. It is a very good strength for us as we have support with any issues. I would like to stay with this amazing team forever. "
