Supporting patients completing FIT webinars for administrators and clinicians

A webinar discussing the role of FIT and how administrative staff can best support patients took place on 19 September.

Produced by GatewayC and supported by TCST, NHS England and the Greater Manchester Cancer Alliance Early Diagnosis Team, the webinar was attended by over 160 people from across England. Primary care specialists discussed the role of the Faecal Immunochemical Test (FIT) in early cancer diagnosis, the difference between screening and symptomatic FIT, how administrative staff can best support patients to complete and return a FIT, why samples are rejected and safety netting guidance.

There was also a Q&A session at the end for attendees to ask questions.
