💨 Abstract

An IT error caused over 5,000 patients in the UK to miss routine screenings for bowel, breast, cervical cancer, and abdominal aortic aneurysm between 2008 and now. As a result, ten people are thought to have died from cancer, while another ten have been diagnosed. The mistake occurred due to incomplete GP registrations, and those affected have been contacted by the NHS.
