The NHS Cancer Programme has developed a Faster Diagnosis Framework, which sets out a strategic approach to speed up cancer diagnosis and improve patient experience. The framework aims to bring together key requirements for cancer diagnosis under a single programme, regardless of cancer type. It is set to ensure patients are diagnosed within 28 days of being referred urgently by their GP for suspected cancer.
