Annual Project Update 2025
Natalie Barnett, LCNUK Annual Project Lead, provides a short overview of this year's project. The project members created a new tool to evaluate the complexity of lung cancer patients. The tool was initially tested on 10 patients and was later expanded to give a fuller overview of the patient pathway. Natalie details the limitations of the project, as well as the areas for further evaluation that were borne out of the research.
