1 The Single Cancer Pathway

2 Background and Case for Change

3 Case for Change (1) Broadly patient experience of cancer services in Wales is good: 93% of patients rate their care as 7/10 or better (WPES) But survival compared to other developed countries is poor (ICBP)

4 The consistency of this finding suggests this is less related to use of treatment but the way the system is working (ICBP, Eurocare, Concorde) Five year relative survival rate comparisons for Wales 5-year-age-standardised relative survival for adult patients with cancer, diagnosed De Angelis R, Sant M, Coleman MP, et al. Cancer survival in Europe by country and age: results of EUROCARE-5 a population-based study. The Lancet Oncology 2013

5 International Cancer Benchmarking Partnership Module 1: Inferior survival likely related in part to late stage presentation (1 year survival surrogate for stage at presentation)

6 International Cancer Benchmarking Partnership Module 3: GPs in Wales less likely to refer and/or investigate for a given set of signs and symptoms This correlated with worse survival

7 International Cancer Benchmarking Partnership Module 4: After presentation patients in Wales spend longer in healthcare system before starting treatment than other countries/jurisdictions

8 State of Diagnostic Services in Wales 9-10% increase in CT, MR, Endoscopy year on year 10-50% posts vacant in Wales, all HBs outsourcing 30% of workforce could retire in next 5 years >50% current workforce >10 (many >12), unable to attract trainees, <50% primary care timely direct access to NICE recommended diagnostics 7 radiologists per 100, 000 compared to European average CT scanners per million, compared with 35 in Denmark Situation similar or worse across primary care and pathology

26 Ministerial and CIG response Pressure on system to comply with current CWT targets 2015 asked for clinical review of CWT targets Clinical view Waiting times important for patients and clinicians System should work better and 62 days max time Not in favour of exclusions 2016/17 WG/Network response Pilot new suspected cancer (SC) pathway starting at PoS (where nec as defined by NG12) Pilot suggested 20% increased demand in diagnostics but requirement for improved pathways and not including required increase for NG12 Autumn 2017 Cabinet secretary indicated support for move to SCP Urged NHS Wales to prepare to be compliant with a 62 day SCP target

27 Summary Patients have relatively poor survival in Wales with stage at diagnosis a key factor in this Patients are waiting too long in the healthcare system before receiving treatment The current system of CWT reports contains hidden waits, does not reflect patient experience, does not report inadequate diagnostic and treatment capacity and does not drive improvement CEOs, Chairs, CIG, CSG, WCN, HB/Trusts agree: A single suspected cancer pathway that reports waiting times for all patients from the point of suspicion is.. THE RIGHT THING TO DO The benefits should lead to better patient outcomes (survival, experience), better patient support and less costly treatment No one underestimates the challenge but we must work together, share best practice and be open to change

39 How do we do this? Best Practice Principles Implementing enabling systems and infrastructure Standardising and improving the whole patient pathway Point of suspicion Tracking Information and Intelligence Capacity and Demand Pathway Improvement Referral/Primary Care PoS to Last Diagnostic <28days DDT to Treatment < 21 days Clinical Engagement Patient Centred Care

40 Work streams Information and Intelligence Capacity & Demand Communication Primary Care Diagnostic Pathway Treatment Pathway CSG s and Clinical Engagement Patient Centred Care Improvement

41 Priorities To understand the additional capacity required for the NHS to be able to treat all patients from the PoS within 62 days or 95% of patients to be diagnosed and staged < 28 days and treated < 21 days from decision to treat To understand where capacity required eg OPA, imaging, endoscopy, treatment Understand whether increased capacity due to rising referrals, improved USC performance or accelerated nusc pathway To standardise pathways across Wales consistently using best practice principles such as use of NG12 and entry points into system eg straight to test

42 Priorities To establish informatics systems to link with HB PAS systems that can receive e-referrals, can be easily started on clinical suspicion of cancer, can make system aware patient on accelerated pathway, track patient and record component and total waiting times To understand better where support systems should be introduced eg patient information, prehabilitation, holistic needs support and research To undertake a set of improvement workshops within HBs and across boundaries in Cancer Site Groups to reduce delays due to decision making in MDTs or weekly clinics or introduce accelerated steps such as same day/next day to CT from endoscopy or CXR

43 Priorities To establish a set of local and National reports that highlight variation between HBs and Cancer Sites and specific pathway steps, to understand the causes of this variation and share best practice across Wales To compare and contrast HB SCP Delivery Plans to help a local and National understanding of what required to achieve compliance with an SCP (assuming 95% compliance with 62 day target)

THE RIGHT THING TO DO!

47 Summary The benefits should lead to better patient outcomes (survival, experience), better patient support and less costly treatment Benefits beyond accelerated pathway, more structured and standardised pathways allow for better information and holistic support, access to research and capacity/demand modelling No one underestimates the challenge but NHS Wales, WG, 3 rd sector and cancer services stakeholders are working together, sharing best practice and are open to change
