NHS 62-day targets for Head and Neck Cancer the worst out of all major cancer groups
The BBC recently reported the struggle that the NHS is having meeting its own 62-day targets for cancer patients. The target is that 85% of patients referred to the NHS with cancer receive treatment within 62 days of referral.
Sadly this seems to be especially true for Head and Neck Cancer cases, and unfortunately reflects some of the challenges patients face seeing appropriate specialists at an early stage.
If you are worried that this could delay your diagnosis and treatment, we would be happy to see you in our clinics.
With help from the whole team at H+N SL we have been able to offer curative treatment within 7 days of diagnosis for over 95% of our patients in the last 12 months.

As you can imagine, our mouth cancer patients are some of the most challenging patients to intubate, due to the presence of the tumour and the altered anatomy.
The course showcased innovative difficult airway management techniques that our Anaesthetists use regularly to provide our patients with the safest intubation techniques possible.
