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.

"Joining NASGP's Locum Chambers in Essex after CCT has been a fantastic decision for me. The Chambers structure provides support with my locum work as well as a peer support network with regular meetings.
The Chambers support also extends to support with complaints when these occur. This is an amazing benefit that helps to minimise the professional isolation that can come with being a locum.
The Instant Book feature within LocumDeck makes arranging sessions easy. Whilst getting things set up initially does take a bit of work, this eventually pays off and the return on this initial time investment is impressive. New features are always being added based on feedback from members. "
