| Title: | USP Study – Urological Symptoms and Pathways to diagnosis |
| Project Description: |  This is a cohort study using a mixed-methods approach involving primary care case note review and nested interviews with patients and their GPs. The study aims to determine how and when English general practitioners investigate patients with urological symptoms and explore the patient, clinician and system factors that affect the timely use, performance and follow-up of tests and results in patients with bladder and kidney conditions, including cancers. The aim is to optimise the testing process for patients with urological symptoms in order to reduce missed diagnostic opportunities. |
