Stopping the Clock
A term of art used in the context of NHS targets for timely diagnosis and treatment of certain conditions, especially invasive cancer. The clock starts on the day of forward referral from the patient’s GP for a diagnostic workup for a possible cancer and stops on the day of the first definitive therapy, which, according to the NHS cancer targets, should be no more than 62 days (two months)
