INTRODUCTION Rapid access to radiological services is essential, if the British Association of Otolaryngologists – Head and Neck Surgeons Minimum Temporal Standards are to be met in the management of head and neck cancer patients. This study assesses a new initiative whereby the multidisciplinary team prioritises allocated imaging appointments rather than using the traditional radiological triage system. PATIENTS AND METHODS This study was a prospective audit of all patients referred over a 3-month period with suspected head and neck cancer. The main outcome measures were: (i) median interval in days from general practitioner (GP) referral to staging scan; and (ii) median interval in days from first clinic appointment to staging scan. RESULTS The new multidisciplinary team booking system led to a statistically significant reduction in the ‘request-to-scan time’ (from 12 days to 5 days). The time from ‘GP to scan’ also improved. CONCLUSIONS This new multidisciplinary team-led booking system, could, in the future, speed up access to radiology services lead and neck cancer patients, allowing earlier definitive treatment.
