Improving Cancer prevention, diagnosis and care with time-saving tools

Cancer

From prevention and early diagnosis to treatment and management, we develop practical tools, clinical decision support and population health insights that seamlessly integrate with clinical workflows and support every stage of cancer care.

Early diagnosis and effective follow-up are central to improving cancer outcomes. By enabling practices, PCNs and ICBs to take a proactive, strategic approach to cancer care while reducing administrative burden and variation in care delivery, Ardens supports primary care teams to deliver the NHS Long Term Plan for Cancer.

Screening

Ardens supports proactive identification of patients eligible for cancer screening and surveillance programmes.

Searches and reports identify patients overdue for national screening programmes, including bowel, breast and cervical screening. Ardens also includes additional support for PSA monitoring, targeted lung health checks and liver cancer surveillance.

Targeted interventions are supported by tools that identify cohorts with lower uptake.

Clinical templates support accurate recording of screening discussions and outcomes, incorporating national guidance and links to trusted patient resources.

Early recognition

Early identification is critical to improving outcomes. The Ardens Cancer Symptom Analyser, aligned to NICE NG12 Suspected Cancer guidance, supports clinicians at the point of care by highlighting symptoms that may indicate cancer and advising on next steps, including urgent referral or investigation.

Recognition tools are embedded across routine consultations, including health checks, infection reviews, and long-term condition reviews.

Proactive searches identify patients with previously recorded symptoms that may not have resulted in onward referral, strengthening safety-netting beyond the consultation.

Referrals

The Ardens Referral resources support safe, consistent cancer referrals by embedding agreed pathways, guidance and referral forms directly into the GP clinical system, while providing assurance for PCNs and ICBs.

Referral pathways are embedded at the point of care which:

  • Present NICE and locally-aligned referral criteria

  • Use structured templates to capture required information consistently

  • Support clear outcomes, including referral, investigation or monitoring

  • Include built-in safety-netting when thresholds are not met

Referral forms are centrally managed, locally structured, integrated into the clinical workflow which:

  • Auto-populate with patient and clinical information

  • Use mandatory fields to ensure completeness

  • Reduce duplication and administrative burden

  • Improve the quality and consistency of referrals

Please note that localised referral pathways and referral forms are included as part of the Ardens Pro package.

Cancer care

Ardens supports clinicians in delivering high-quality, holistic cancer care, with structured templates for diagnosis, treatment, recurrence and cancer care reviews.

Three-month support reviews are embedded within clinical workflows and prescribing support, alerts and formulary guidance promote safe treatment.

The Ardens Cancer Care template, reviewed and approved by Macmillan, supports consistent delivery of best-practice cancer care.

Reporting & population health

Using Ardens Manager, practices, PCNs and ICBs gain real-time insight across cancer activity and outcomes.

Cancer dashboards and reporting enable monitoring of screening, referral and diagnosis activity, tracking trends over time and benchmarking against national averages. Data can be viewed at practice, PCN, Place and ICB level.

Dedicated reports provide assurance that patients are not lost in referral pathways, including fast-track referrals coded more than two weeks ago, and no recorded attendance following urgent referral.

Structured data enables analysis by age, gender, ethnicity, deprivation, co-morbidities, and Core20PLUS5 cohorts. This supports targeted action to reduce inequalities and improve population health outcomes.
