As a follow up to my posting yesterday, I neglected to say that I am also trying to educate our GPs about FIT. Nice to give a positive to balance the negative!
Callum has already shared with us the recent publication 'Faecal haemoglobin and faecal calprotectin as indicators of bowel disease in patients presenting to primary care with bowel symptoms' (posted by John O'Connor).
We must not lose sight of the opportunities/potential with FIT in our haste to keep FOB out of our laboratories.

I specifically asked our
commissioners if they wished to recommission the test in the
light of NICE guidance....................pointing out where
I thought NICE had got it wrong, then followed up with the
BMJ letter.
Our CCG have decided not to recommission the test -
simples!

We have said they can have it if they commission it. Other
than that we don’t do any new service, and in our view
this is new, without being commissioned. From our finance
department:
If the FOB test is mandatory there may be some national
funding and if all else fails we would be eligible to apply
for funding from the Trust central NICE pot.
If it is ‘guidance’ then as you say we would need to
find the funds via agreement with commissioners.
Which suggests there are different levels of NICE.
Cheers

Despite my concerns and reservations about NICE and FOB, I
am under increasing pressure from the CCGs and my Trust to
re-introduce this test.
Are we digging in and resisting or giving up and
re-instating the test?
What are others doing?
