Greater Manchester Cancer Moving Forward • Vanguard Innovation • Issues to overcome with G.Ps • Bowel prep • Communication, communication, communication • Continued collaboration With CCG • Continued Audit • Changes along the way • Patient first – data proves it’s working
Greater Manchester Cancer Engagement with Primary Care • Vanguard Innovation • Used established CCG forums – Clinical Leads, Practice Managers, Informal Local Medical Council (LMC) • Progressing new pathways through CCG governance – Demand Management Group, Clinical Standards Board • Promotion through GP newsletter, direct communications via GP Clinical Lead for Cancer
Greater Manchester Cancer Lessons Learned • Vanguard Innovation • Should have begun GP engagement at an earlier stage • Formal endorsement through CCG governance important • Support from CCG clinicians does not always represent support from wider GP membership • Be willing to listen and adapt – pathways hinge on GPs supporting and referring into them; find neutral ground • Engage with Practice Managers and admin staff on logistics of referring into new pathways, issuing patient information, booking appointments – essential to facilitate efficient and effective turnaround time • Make change as easy as possible – don’t overlook the “small issues” such as printing patient information booklets • Patient engagement critical to getting pathways right
Greater Manchester Cancer What Next? • Vanguard Innovation • Re-launch Direct to Test Colonoscopy pathway with revised process for issuing bowel prep • Agree lung x-ray and CT element of pathway through CCG governance and go live • Upper GI further GP engagement events • Continued audit and monitoring of all three work streams, with dedicated project management oversight • Consider options for continuing with successful elements of the pilot post-Cancer Vanguard funding and document roll out options for GM
