  • the rapid access service (fast track) for suspected upper gastrointestinal (UGI) cancers, including the investigations and treatment
  • close liaison with the UGI multi-disciplinary team, including the surgeons
  • patient support and lifestyle advice, supplemented with relevant information leaflets for conditions such as reflux, non-ulcer dyspepsia and weight control
