SUMMARY:What predicts general practice variation in use of urgent referral
 s for suspected cancer and endoscopies? Associations with patient experien
 ce\, clinical quality and practice characteristics - Silvia Mendonca

DESCRIPTION:There is evidence that cancer patients in general practices wi
 th higher urgent referral rates for suspected cancer have better survival.
  Similarly\, patients with upper GI cancers in practices with higher endos
 copy use are more likely to receive treatment with curative intent. Conseq
 uently there is interest in understanding organisational predictors of use
  of endoscopies and urgent referrals. Evidence will be presented about how
  patient experience\, quality and outcomes framework scores and practice t
 eam composition and population characteristics predict diagnostic evaluati
 on activity in general practices.
