P084. Where have all these patients come from? A study assessing referral pattern changes in breast fast track clinics

Abstract

Introduction: During the COVID-19 pandemic, referral practice adaptations were implemented to reduce face-to-face contact at a GP level. Concerns have been raised however, as a local increase in fast track breast referrals was noted. We therefore aimed to identify factors relating to the increased referral demands, to assess whether any management strategies could be implemented.
