OneLauncher Suspected Cancer (PT00427)
Introduction
The OneLauncher Suspected Cancer brings together all templates for suspected cancer into one place. These templates can easily launched via the f12 protocol launcher.
These are singular cancer specific templates allowing history to be recorded, it prompts users to consider relevant clinical information differing depending on the suspected cancer type. For example, the 2WW Lower GI template prompts users to consider if the patient is 40 years+ with unintentional clinically significant weight loss and abdominal pain or 50 years+ with unexplained rectal bleeding, etc. Regardless of age the Lower GI template will always prompt the clinician to consider rectal or anal masses, ulceration, abdominal mass or positive FIT tests.
How to use the OneLauncher Suspected Cancer
We suggest that users wishing to access these templates add the "OneLauncher Suspected Cancer" directly to their F12 protocol launcher. To learn how to do this see our support article on using the F12 protocol launcher. The templates can also be accessed via the familiar "OneLauncher Prescriber" via "More Templates".
Following use of the template, the launcher will prompt the generation of the suitable referral form or task someone else. Users can navigate to the Referral Tree to access the needed form.
