| description | BACKGROUND: To describe general practitioners (GPs) experiences with the impact COVID‐19 on the duration of cancer detection. METHODS: Cross‐sectional survey study among Dutch GPs. RESULTS: Fifty‐eight GPs participated. During the first wave, COVID‐19‐related delays were experienced by 88%, 52%, and 67% of GPs in the contact‐seeking, primary care, and referral phases, respectively. GPs reported delays due to telehealth consultations, longer waiting times and patient's concerns of COVID infections and overburdening GPs. CONCLUSIONS: The majority of GPs experienced delays in cancer diagnostic processes during the beginning of the COVID pandemic, which was most prominent in the timeliness in which patients sought GP care. |
