Title:

Telephone Assessment for Colorectal STT (COL)

Description:

The NHS England Rapid cancer diagnostic and assessment pathways guidance features nurse-led assessment as a core element of the colorectal cancer straight-to-test pathway. This assessment can be carried out via a telephone consultation, and this training package prepares nurses to undertake this role.

The training package consists of six online modules made up of local clinician-led training elements and a tool to support assessment of directly observed practice and a competency framework and log book to enable learners to record competencies and achieve sign-off to undertake telephone assessment for colorectal straight-to-test pathways.

This training is suitable for experienced colorectal nurses or endoscopists who will be undertaking telephone assessment for colorectal cancer straight-to-test pathways as part of their clinical role. Clinical supervision for learners will be provided by the service in which learners are being assessed to practise.
