Member of Single Queue Diagnostic Subgroup for Complex Polypectomy
Single Queue Diagnostics is a Cancer Alliance project that facilitates the sharing of capacity for specialist cancer procedures across GM. A GM single queue is now being implemented for complex polypectomy (a procedure to remove large polyps within a patient's colon). We are looking for representatives with experience of a colorectal cancer pathway to bring a patient perspective to this work.

Single Queue Diagnostics gives patients the choice to access an appointment sooner by going to a different hospital than their usual hospital. This has been demonstrated to make better use of existing capacity and reduce waiting times significantly (for all patients, not only those able to travel further).

Patient representatives will be asked to attend a fortnightly monthly meeting and support the development of patient information leaflets. Meetings are expected to move to weekly when drawing closer to ‘go live’ in November 2026. Dates and times of the meetings are still to be determined.

If you are interested in participating in this opportunity or would like more information please contact us through the ‘Enquire About Opportunity’ tab below or email the Cancer Voices email address gmcancer.voices@nhs.net and outline your experience and why you have a particular interest in this project.
