Phase 1
Engaged with CCGs, Acute Trusts , Hospices and Third Sector and patient groups
Semi structured interviews
Formation of Expert Advisory Group
Production of report March 2015
Need to understand the current cancer survivorship pathway within CCGs and how CCGs have built on NCSI initiative
Elements
Majority of elements identified within project were align to descriptors in NCSI toolkit . Self management more loosely aligned . This often was interpreted as advice and information and sign posting .
Consequences of Treatment not mapped at this point

5. Clinical Commissioning Groups
All 22 CCGs engaged with project and 19 submitted returns

6. Clinical Commissioning Groups

7. CCG findings

8. CCG findings

9. Acute Trust results 18 Trusts engaged
Significant engagement with Third Sector such as Macmillan in survivorship work

10. Acute Trusts

11. There is a recognition that need to provide standard template that can be used across all tumour groups , Some Macmillan project work in this area to drive forward. No trust had a standard template that was used by all tumour groups
Some templates used contained stages of treatment information which have been identified by GP `s as useful in managing survivors in primary care. Patient experience groups locally identified that this is area that they feel should be prioritised by trusts/CCGs

12. In addition to stable prostate ,there are examples of patient initiated follow up in place in Sandwell plus similar model for Gynae.- Sandwell. Pilot for Lower GI f/u in Wolverhampton .

15. Third sector
Some Living Well & Beyond cancer support offered by Hospices
Macmillan and Penny Brohn working jointly to look at delivering elements of recovery package across survivorship pathway in Staffordshire
Prostate UK providing HWB, Counselling and support for survivors in some parts of West Midlands
Response to feedback less than 50 % , not able to engage face to face
1 Hospice offering counselling through self referral

17. Next steps
Work with stakeholders and EAG identified element/s of Recovery Package that require further support to embed in commissioning priorities
Use task and finish groups to work on identified areas such as stratified follow up
Share national and local evidence widely to enable ownership
Support embedding of NHS England transformational plans
Support development of service specifications for CCGs
