The PCN FIT Investment and Impact Fund Dashboard

The FIT IIF dashboard has been designed to support primary care networks within the Surrey and Sussex Cancer Alliance area to monitor FIT utilisation for urgent suspected lower GI referrals.

Use the dashboard to:

  • Monitor the proportion of lower GI referrals accompanied with a FIT result by GP practice, Primary Care Network, or Integrated Care System.
  • Identify areas which need support
  • Share best practice

Find the FIT dashboard here: PCN FIT IIF Dashboard

The data in the FIT dashboard will be updated monthly. It is important to use the correct codes when uploading patient information to your GP practice system.
