NCT ID NCT07463976
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Sep 16, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study surveys primary care doctors and nurse specialists in the West Midlands to understand how they decide to refer patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) to specialists. The goal is to identify differences in referral practices and find ways to make care more equal for all patients. No treatments are being tested; instead, the study focuses on improving the referral process.
