EVALUATION OF A TOOL TO HELP PEOPLE DECIDE WHEN TO SEE A GP
30 October 2015
For symptoms that may be associated with serious illnesses, such as lung cancer, it is important to provide clear and helpful information to help people decide when they need to see a doctor about their symptoms. We have therefore developed a tool to help people check their symptoms and to encourage people to see their GP if necessary. The aim of this study is to find out how people use this tool and whether it is effective.
