Abstract
Introduction The ‘two week wait (2WW)’ pathway for head and neck cancer was introduced to streamline the diagnosis and treatment of patients presenting with possible cancer. Processing of patients on a 2WW pathway places considerable stress on the available resources within the NHS. We analysed the appropriateness of referrals to a single unit and completed an analysis of reasons underlying the inappropriate referrals using a semi-structured interview technique.
