National Cancer Peer Review Programme Ruth Bridgeman National Programme Director
The Future of Peer Review It has now been confirm that the peer review programme will move to the NHS Commissioning Board’s (NHS CB) Improvement Body as part of the Transitional Delivery Partner. In discussions about peer review: • There is positive support to retain the programme • However a long term host has not been agreed • It is agreed it will be hosted by the Improvement Body until a suitable host is found.
The 2012/2013 Peer Review Cycle How we will manage the position with networks? • The self assessment cycle is completed • The peer review round is half way through • Take each network on a case by case basis • Essential to maintain the NSSGs
The 2013/2014 Peer Review Cycle The programme will continue in 2013/2014. However, as a result of this transition with strategic clinical networks changes have been made to the programme. • Suspending the network board measures 1A (Some my move to the 1C or 1E measures) • Revisions but maintaining of site specific groups • Suspending some cross cutting network group measures • Partnership group • Complementary Therapy • Psychological Support (Integrate into 1C Measures) • Rehabilitation (Integrate into 1C Measures)
The Proposed Recommendation for NSSGs • It is imperative that the functions of the NSSGs continue to exist and it is therefore recommended that NSSGs are retained for the foreseeable future. • The associate directors of the SCNs should be accountable to ensure that the NSSGs continue in the first instance on the cancer network footprint, using the already agreed 2012/13 cancer network funding. • From 1st April 2013 the associate director should establish support mechanisms for NSSGs using the SCN programme budget, including administrative and project support to enable meetings and the development of their work plans. • The NSSG work plan should be aligned to the overall SCN and senate work plan and be focussed on local priorities for improvement.
The Proposed Recommended Future of NSSGs • Future funding of NSSGs for 2014/15 should be explored with the specialist commissioning programme of care lead for cancer as part of the national specification, on a similar basis to Operational Delivery Networks. Therefore the financial commitment of providers to working as part of a managed clinical network and the NSSG function would also need to be explored. These commitments would include provision of meeting rooms, attendance by clinicians and chairing of the group by a lead clinician. • As a minimum there should be representation from each MDT associated with the NSSG and mechanisms for patient/carer involvement. The group should meet at least twice a year. • The national cancer peer review measures should be revised to meet the outlined functions of the NSSG and enable more than one NSSG within the SCN where appropriate.
Haematology Measures • These are to be published in February 2013 • Further editing required due to transition changes • Ready for Self-Assessment and Internal Validation Starting in April 2013. • Deadline for Internally Validated Self-Assessments will be the end of September 2013 • Targeted Visits in 2014/2015
Internal Governance Can internal governance be trusted? We are getting better, but we are not there yet.
