Early experience of a nurse-led clinic in a tertiary centre

A busy head and neck or oral and maxillofacial (OMFS) National Health Service (NHS) clinic treats patients with many different conditions. A large proportion will have cancer of the head and neck, and they will be at different stages of their treatment. Their clinical needs may be different from a larger group of patients who have been referred through the "two-week wait" referral pathway, and who are present in the same clinic for their biopsy results. We present our early experience of "fast-track" referrals and their potential effect on the overall volume of work.
