P077. Blue flag clinics. A way to achieve a 2 week wait service in the age of plentiful referrals, radiological pressures and pension threat

Abstract

Introduction: In early 2019 increased referrals to the Breast 2WW Service, limited radiologist capacity and the pension crisis combined to cause the 2 week wait target to fail. A multidisciplinary solution was sought. Using the Nottingham Breast Institute triage criteria and decoupling clinical and radiological assessments, patients were referred along 2 pathways; red and blue flag.
