Creating A New Service for Teenagers and Young Adults with Cancer across the South West of England
NICE: Improving Outcomes Guidance • The needs of Teenagers and Young Adults with Cancer should be met holistically; • Healthcare of this population should address the psychological and social needs, recognising the impact of a cancer diagnosis at a crucial stage of development and it should be delivered in an appropriate and accessible way.

“To evaluate the implementation of the TYA MDAT integrated care approach and explore its perceived impact on patient care” • What is the perceived impact on TYA care of new MDAT service? • How well does the new service/team function • What should the purpose of the team be?
“To evaluate the implementation of the TYA MDAT integrated care approach and explore its perceived impact on patient care” The study set out the evidence to support online working. It concluded that the MDaT approach for clinicians is possible and could benefit patients’ care and potentially improve outcomes. The concept of the MDaT as a tele health approach to site specific multidisciplinary teams with a diverse geographical requirement is a viable option. Daniels J, Brunton D 2011 Oncology News Identifying Primary Functions, Goals and Objectives of a Virtual Multi-Disciplinary Advisory Team for Teenagers and Young Adults with Cancer: A Delphi Study. Vol 6 Issue 2 may/june www.oncologynews.biz/pdf/may_jun_11/57-59_ONMJ11_Daniels.pdf
‘The TYA MDaT tele health solution is a vehicle for ‘challenging’ some of the practice around caring for young people with cancer.’ ‘I don’t underestimate the task of going out there and encouraging the other centres to engage.’ ‘The motivation to have good team functioning is there but I don’t think the framework for us to do it exists.’ Quotes from the Delphi Study (2010)
Leadership What are the skills required to innovate tele health?
TYA Project What are the lessons learned? • The Leader is uniquely the ideas person. The followers are the implementers putting it all in place for sustainability. • Always recognise, support and value the role of the followers. • Remember the tele solution is the vehicle. It is the the driver that needs to know how to drive it and get to the destination of choice.
What would you do differently? • If I knew what it would entail -I would not have done it! • Get organisational buy in at an Executive level Identify a named ‘Champion’ • Recognise, value and support the followers at every level of the process • Innovation requires passion, drive and courage. The unknown is an integral part of the journey. It all comes at a price. Be kind to yourself!
eHealth Teams: The way ahead ? An interdisciplinary clinical team online is a consistent grouping of people from relevant clinical disciplines, ideally inclusive of the patient, whose interactions are guided by specific team functions and processes to achieve team-defined favorable patient outcomes. Teamwork supported by properly designed eHealth applications could help create more effective systems of care for chronic disease. The Internet is a logical platform for supporting interdisciplinary clinical teamwork. Research is needed to better understand how interdisciplinary eHealth team members can work together in everyday practice and to guide the development of effective and efficient eHealth software applications to support greater clinical teamwork.
