  1. Developing the NCSI 2012 document: taking action to improve outcomes

  2. What I will cover • Why now? • Purpose • Process • Emerging thoughts • What we need from you

  3. Why now? (1) • Cancer survivors needs are not being fully met • Poor survivorship: • Damages outcomes (mortality, quality of life, patient experience) • Costs money (preventable ill health, avoidable emergency admissions more expensive treatment and care) • We can’t do more of the same - from 1.7 million survivors now to 3 million in 2030...

  4. Why now? (2) • To date focus has been: • Researching – extent, needs, impact • Developing – communities of interest • Testing – new approaches • Evaluating – feasibility, effectiveness • But not many patients have benefitted in the ‘real world’... • Some interventions are ‘rollout ready’ - now we need to deliver better survivorship support at scale

  5. 2012 should be a step change Implement Engagement with clinicians & commissioners Innovate Investigate 20092015 Time We are here

  6. If we go no further, we’ve failed

  7. Our challenge: Turn promising examples into routine practice

  8. Moving on from uncertainty

  11. Testing our thinking • NCSI project templates • ‘Dragon’s Den’ • NDP workshops • Macmillan clinical advisory board • Today

  12. Taking action

  13. Support from point of diagnosis • Survivorship starts from the point of diagnosis – work discussions start now • Patient experience and quality of life are linked: taking action to improve one will benefit the other • Critical role of CNSs / AHPs • Peer Review? • National Cancer Patient Experience Survey? • Information prescriptions?

  14. Promoting recovery • The package (assessment and care planning, treatment summary, cancer care review and health and wellbeing clinics) • Prehabilitation • ‘Rehabilitation prescriptions’? • Tariffs for phases of care? Best practice tariffs? CQUINs? • Peer Review?

  15. Sustaining recovery • If physical activity was a drug, its efficacy would mean it was considered a ‘wonder drug’ • Follow-up: tailored and risk stratified • Efficiencies in follow-up need to be matched by investments in other areas of the survivorship pathway – but whose responsibility is this? • Cancer care review template? • National Cancer Patient Experience Survey? • Best practice tariff?

  16. Managing the consequences of treatment • Most patients will need to manage some consequences of their treatment • The nature of consequences will vary – ‘the Maher classification’ • Failure to manage the consequences costs money and lives • Breast Radiotherapy Injury Rehabilitation Service (BRIRS) • READ codes • CQUIN for use of PROMs

  17. Managing the consequences of treatment – key principles • Prevent or minimise consequences where possible • Inform patients of potential consequences when these are known and document these in treatment summaries • Identify groups at increased risk of late effects (long term follow-up of patients in trials; recording through national datasets) • Monitor at risk patients consistently • Respond where a new risk is identified, utilising PROMs and health service datasets and informing patients • Provide appropriate services for patients suffering from the consequences of treatment

  18. Active and recurrent disease • Key principles for survivorship apply • CNSs and palliative care really matter • Addressing weaknesses in the intelligence is a priority • What does the metastatic MDT look like? • What are the true costs of active and recurrent disease? • Which outcomes matter most to patients?

  19. Your task • Have we identified the right issues? • How do we get the whole system to prioritise survivorship support? • Will the levers work? • What are we missing?

  20. It’s as easy as x, y, z...
