This guideline covers identifying children, young people and adults with symptoms that could be caused by cancer. It outlines appropriate investigations in primary care, and selection of people to refer for a specialist opinion. It aims to help people understand what to expect if they have symptoms that may suggest cancer.

We have used the terms ‘men’ and ‘women’ in some recommendations on gender-related cancers, but they also apply to people who have changed or are in the process of changing gender, and who retain the relevant organs.

See the guidelines here

UK COVID-19 Update: Updated PPE Guidance, Vaccination ‘Huge Milestone’ 

Updated PPE Guidance
Public Health England has issued updated guidance recommending wider use of PPE for staff where a risk cannot otherwise be managed.

BMA Council Chair, Dr Chaand Nagpaul, said the guidance was “a step in the right direction” and it “asserts the legal obligations of carrying out proper risk assessments and implementing specific measures to manage risks. Crucially, it recommends that respiratory PPE (such as FFP3 masks) must be considered where the threat from passing on COVID remains high, and should not be limited to those areas where ‘aerosol-generating procedures’ (AGP) are taking place. This means extending their use to those staff whose exposure to airborne particles from a patient is no less, and whose risk of contracting COVID is therefore no less than for those engaged in those procedures classified as AGPs.

“Despite the majority of staff now having been vaccinated with two doses, it is important that those working on the front line should be given stronger guarantees with appropriate PPE (rather than just surgical masks), given that no vaccine provides complete protection. With the new variant being highly transmissible and more resistant to vaccines, we cannot give the virus any opportunity to spread if we have the means to prevent it.

“Ultimately, if doctors become infected, not only is there a risk that they pass on the virus to patients, but if they become very ill they are unable to provide care and patients do not get the treatment they need.

“Therefore, employers must now look at this guidance and implement it locally, protecting staff, and in doing so, protecting patients and minimising the wider impact on health services.”

About the track and trace app

How the app will help you
The app is designed to make fast, accurate, digital contact tracing possible while protecting your privacy and identity. It uses the minimum amount possible of your personal data.

Contact tracing depends on being able to determine who a person who has tested positive for COVID-19 could have infected. Manual contact tracing involves asking an infected person to remember who they have been in contact with; the person can only identify the people they know. The app supports contact tracing through your phone, without needing to know anyone’s names or identities.

The app includes a notification feature which will alert you if you’ve been near another app user who tests positive for coronavirus, if your local area (postcode district) has a changed risk status, or if you have visited a venue, which later reports an outbreak whilst you were there. If you test positive, the app will ask you to allow those you’ve been in contact with to be alerted. It uses technology developed by Apple and Google called ‘exposure notification’ and ‘exposure logging’ to do this. The people notified will not know who you are. See more here
