Lynch syndrome training now available on NHS Learning Hub
26 Apr 2024
Healthcare professionals testing patients for Lynch syndrome can now access online training resources through NHS Learning Hub. This material was previously available on the RM Partners website.
The free training supports staff working within colorectal and gynaecological cancer teams to provide an effective and fast diagnostic pathway for Lynch syndrome. There is also training to support primary care teams and pathologists.
The RM Partners Lynch syndrome quality improvement project was developed to assist healthcare professionals in testing patients for Lynch syndrome to help improve prevention, identification and early detection of colorectal and endometrial cancer. The material also aims to help improve uptake of genetic testing through integration into standard cancer clinics.
Resources include videos, knowledge tests and a range of informational resources and supporting documents that clinicians can provide to patients. Some material, including patient information and supporting documents, is still available on the RM Partners website.
