British doctors face being named and shamed if they repeatedly fail to spot signs of cancer in their patients, it’s been reported. Poor performing doctors will be “red flagged” on Britain’s National Health Service (NHS) website. The red flag will appear next to a doctor’s name if they are deemed to be missing too many cases or patients have to make repeated visits before being referred for tests, according to the Mail on Sunday. Practices will be given a green rating if they have quick referral times for patients who show possible signs of having the disease. British Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt said tough action must be taken to bring standards at practices with poor cancer referral rates into line with those who have the highest standards.
