This presentation will offer language recommendations for clear communication about cancer referrals. This plays an important role in promoting shared decision-making and driving patient attendance for investigations. The study highlights the need for further research on communication practices around cancer referral to improve patient understanding and experience. Our recommendations for enhanced communication may improve patient outcomes by optimising routes to diagnosis via primary care.
