  • Hi everyone

     

    Just wondered whether you can point me in the direction of some NHS or NICE guidance relating to waiting times for cancer treatment?

     

    Many thanks

  • I suggest you contact the nurses here on this. They operate Monday to Friday 9am to 8pm 0808 808 0000. I'm sure they'll have answers.

    Best wishes

  • Hi Lady Muck,

    You can find all NICE guidance on their website. The breast cancer-related guidances can be found at

    http://www.nice.org.uk/Search.do?x=22&y=12&searchText=breast+cancer&newsearch=true#/search/?reload

    The Quality Standard which was published in September 2011 might be what you're looking for.

    If you can't find what you want, do email them. I do quite a bit of work with different parts of NICE (but nothing to do with cancer at the moment) but they are a very friendly and helpful bunch and would be happy to point you in the right direction.

    I hope you find what you're looking for.

  • Thanks both.

     

    Just want to go armed on Weds. My treatment so far has been great, but the BCN muttered something about a waiting list for Chemo the other day which rather made me worry.
