Trust Board Reports Lynne Whiteside Southern HSC Trust Band 8a Clinical Lymphoedema Lead
Financial Status Each Trust has contributed to the Network costs Further request for investment from Trusts to develop a Regional minimum data set Each Trust has potential under spend as result of delayed recruitment
Areas For Concern-all Trusts Recruitment and retention Standardising referral procedures and data collection from legacy Trusts Increasing demands and complexity of patients Increasing prevalence rates which decreases the capacity for new patients to enter service, also reduces time available for treatment Very small no. of staff, therefore any annual, sick, study or maternity leave will have a huge impact on delivery of service Succession planning-lack of time, funding and development opportunities
Others Concerns South Eastern, Southern trusts have no designated clinical space to practise. Northern has an agreement for space but no time limit on it. Trust areas so large-travel time and expense Under funding of compression garments-more complex pts=more complex garments=more expensive
Progress-all Trusts Regional approach Increased awareness and access to lymphoedema services Mapping exercise establishing good links Utilising FP10 for garment provision spreading cost across relevant sectors Services can be more flexible and respond to areas of greatest need Discussions re: screening of at risk patients
