Understanding your urgent fast track referral<\/h1>\n
This page is for patients who have been referred for a fast track appointment.<\/p>\n
Why do I need a fast track appointment?<\/h2>\n
Your primary care clinician has decided that you need a fast track referral for further investigation of your symptoms.<\/p>\n
Your symptoms can be caused by a number of conditions which may include cancer, so it is important for you to be seen quickly. The earlier that cancer is found, the higher the chance of successful treatment.<\/p>\n
It is important to remember that even though you have been referred for a fast track investigation, this does not necessarily mean you have cancer. The majority of people who are sent for a fast track appointment do not have cancer.<\/p>\n
Your GP has requested that you are seen quickly. Please make every effort to be flexible and attend the appointment the hospital arranges with you.<\/p>\n
