Can a patient-reported symptom-based risk stratification system improve the suspected head and neck cancer (HNC) pathway? Our methodology includes six interlinked work packages to deliver our aim, with EVEREST-HN 1 encompassing the first of these and seeking to optimise a patient-reported symptom inventory for HNC and outline requirement specification for the SYmptom iNput Clinical (SYNC) system.
The EVEREST-HN pathway should be based on a comprehensive understanding of existing HNC diagnostic pathways and what patients and clinicians value in these. The language used within the EVEREST pathway needs to be accessible and optimal to elicit appropriate information.

RECRUITINGInventory and specification for the SYmptom iNput Clinical (SYNC) system
To optimise a patient-reported symptom inventory for HNC and outline requirement specification for the SYmptom iNput Clinical (SYNC) system
Time frame: September 2022 - August 2023
To further explore the current suspected HNC pathway and the language used when discussing symptoms.
To understand how clinicians decide subsequent steps for patients referred with suspected HNC, the language patients and clinicians use to describe symptoms and patients' and clinicians' views and experiences of the current diagnostic process for HNC. with a focus on what would work for EVEREST-HN study.
