EPID-05. EARLY DIAGNOSIS OF CHILDHOOD BRAIN TUMOURS: HELPING FAMILY CLINICIANS TO BE MORE ‘HEADSMART’

摘要

INTRODUCTIONThe HeadSmart campaign has been associated with reducing median total diagnostic interval of childhood brain tumours in UK from 14.4 weeks to 6.5 weeks with a new aim of 4 weeks. In 2013, only 26% of family clinicians were aware of the campaign. We conducted a year-long project in collaboration with Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) aiming to enhance awareness amongst this crucial professional group.
