Can anyone explain to me why when radiology have identified the need for a chest CT scan based on chest x-ray result the GP needs to refer back to radiology for one?

"Better, cheaper, faster: choose two" (sometimes called the project management triangle) is false in the NHS where much of the system is so far from being optimal that everything could improve: hsj.co.uk/daily-insight/the-…
Screening - don't tell me it "Saves Lives" without a statistically significant impact on all-cause mortality.
Thanks.
The money is there in the NHS
It’s just in the wrong places, often doing the wrong things or the right things inefficiently

Mismanagement, yes. But chronic underfunding is hard to argue when the NHS added nearly 25% more doctors in the last 5 years.
The brave thing to do, which has been done, is not to bow to political and celebrity pressure but hold onto the evidence and use scarce public funds in the best way possible to maximise the nation’s health and reduce suffering.

I am disappointed by today’s recommendation on prostate cancer screening from the National Committee.
Targeted screening is a natural first step - but the recommendation today is far too targeted, not including black men or men with a family history, both high-risk groups.
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among British men. We are letting down too many men if we don’t push for a wider screening programme that includes all high-risk groups - and not just the men involved, but their families too, who risk losing a loved one unnecessarily.
As I know all too well, prostate cancer can be symptomless early on. That’s why screening is so essential - catching the cancers early when they can be more effectively and successfully treated, like in my own case.
I urge @wesstreeting and the government to be brave and bold on this crucial issue. Make the first step more significant than what’s being recommended. Put in place a proper, targeted screening programme that involves all those at higher-risk. Without it, more men will die, more families will lose a loved one. This is avoidable and can be done.
Surely we should only use the term “Lives Saved” if there is a statistically significant reduction in All-Cause Mortality?

Meaningful engagement with people with lived experience: challenging, messy, and more vital than ever.
Healthcare leaders at every level must urgently implement @WHO framework on engagement, writes @maiacaryn

Using AI to “take” a good “history” from a patient and present it to a clinician in a summary single paragraph of important clinical information would be a game changer

Agree. Seems quite a reductionist approach. Feeds the supplements industry and gives folk an easy win.
