In this paper, Filipe Carvalho goes through how he set- up his service, and outlines the essential steps to consider when setting up and managing an in-house nurse-led colorectal Lynch syndrome clinic.

It highlights the educational requirements, patient criteria, the importance of thorough planning and the need to liaise-on with key stakeholders.
