29. Why CPES results are important
Since 2008 the National Cancer Survivorship Initiative (NSCI) in partnership with Macmillan and DoH have been looking at patient experience and how that should inform service provision and one of their five shifts in care recommendations is that
Support people affected by cancer by greater focus on recovery, health and well-being after cancer treatment
Shift towards assessment, information provision and personalised care planning ( from one size fits all Follow Up to Follow Up based on assessment of individual risks, needs and preferences )
Shift towards self management. From clinically led to supported self management i.e. with appropriate clinical assessment , support and treatment
Shift from single model of clinical follow up to tailored support that enables early recognition and preparation of consequences of treatment as well as signs and symptoms of further disease
Shift from emphasis on measuring clinical activity to emphasis on experience and outcomes ( PROMS)
and furthermore these results are now used as part of
The external Quality Surveillance for our provision of quality cancer services (national cancer peer review) and also felt to be a good indicator in the NHS E transformational Living With and Beyond Cancer (LWBC) project and funding and matrix compliance i.e. increase % of care plans
