Cancer Research UK interactive desk easel
We have produced an interactive desk easel for GPs, in conjunction with the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP),which summarises the NG12 guidelines. Designed as a pdf document, GPs can access the summary from their computer and click through to the recommendations for each symptom group. Recommendations for adults, children and young people are covered, as well as primary care investigations. There’s also some additional advice on diagnostic tests and safety netting.

We will be distributing a limited number of hard copies to GPs via our facilitators – find out whether you have facilitators in your area.
If you have any feedback or comments about the easel please get in touch at earlydiagnosis@cancer.org.uk or fill in our online survey.
Cancer Research UK posters
We have developed three symptom-led summaries of the guidance with the help of Dr Richard Roope and the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP).
New versions were created in 2020. Please take all copies of the November 2015 and March 2016 posters (marked version 2) out of curculation and only use the 2020 (marked version 3) from now on.
Download the posters:
- Infographic style – Symptoms are grouped according to organ system, with a key directing you to NICE’s recommendations.
- Infographic style for Scotland - For GPs in Scotland summarising the Scottish referral guidelines for suspected cancer by organ system.
Or order physical copies of these poster resources, for free, from the CRUK publications website.
We are keen to hear your views on these resources. If you have any feedback, you can get in touch at earlydiagnosis@cancer.org.uk.
