Background

A dedicated referral pathway for patients with bony metastases was introduced at Guy's and St Thomas’ Hospitals (GSTT) in 2009. The aim was to facilitate prompt, consultant-led decision-making and intervention for patients at risk of pathological fracture of long bones.

Methods

We performed a clinical audit and service evaluation of the referral pathway through retrospective review of referrals over 3.5 years.
