How this fits in

The CanRisk tool can help to identify women who are at increased risk of developing breast cancer. Although the CanRisk tool is used widely in specialist genetics clinics, it is not frequently used in primary care. The findings of the study, which emerged from talking to general practitioners and nurses, have enabled a better understanding of the barriers to and facilitators of using the CanRisk tool. How to better support GPs and nurses to use the CanRisk tool can now be planned.
