Pharmacy Cancer Screening Referral Service

Across Norfolk and Waveney the ICB have commissioned a selected number of pharmacies that are taking part in a National pilot for the Cancer Screening Service. NWICB, CPNS and the RDS have all been working together with NHSE to get the service up and running in our area.

The pilot is due to run until March 2025 and we have already started to see referrals be made through the service. We are in a very unique position in Norfolk as we have the Rapid Diagnostic service to refer patients to for follow up and diagnostic treatments. The Rapid Diagnostic Service (RDS) sees patients with non-specific or vague symptoms of cancer. The service will provide virtual and face to face clinics to patients with vague symptoms which may be suggestive of cancer.
