1 National Cancer Patient Experience Programme 2014 National Survey South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Published September 2014 The National Cancer Patient Experience Survey Programme is undertaken by Quality Health on behalf of NHS England

2 Introduction The Cancer Patient Experience Survey 2014 (CPES) follows on from the successful implementation of the 2010, 2012 and 2013 surveys, designed to monitor national progress on cancer care. The 2014 survey is congruent with the National Operating Framework (NOF) for the NHS 2014, which defines quality as those indicators of safety, effectiveness and patient experience that indicate that standards are being maintained or improved; with the NHS England Business Plan ; and "Everyone Counts", Planning for Patients The CPES provides information that can be used to drive local quality improvements, both by Trusts and Commissioners, and is consistent with the objectives of NHS policy. Participating Trusts 153 acute hospital NHS Trusts providing cancer services took part in the survey, accounting for every Trust that provides adult cancer care in England. Some specialist hospital Trusts were excluded because of very low numbers of patients being treated for cancer in the data capture period. The number of Trusts has fallen from 160 in 2010 because of Trust amalgamations, especially this year the disbandment of South London Healthcare in 2013 and the reallocation of cancer activity to Lewisham, Kings, and Dartford and Gravesham. Patients selected to take part The survey included all adult patients (aged 16 and over) with a primary diagnosis of cancer who had been admitted to an NHS hospital as an inpatient or as a day case patient, and had been discharged between 1st September and 30th November The three month eligibility period for data capture is identical to that for the 2010, 2012 and 2013 CPES. The Health Research Authority supported the CPES by granting Section 251 approval. Patients eligible for the survey were taken from Trust patient administration systems; the inclusion criteria were that the patient had an International Classification of Disease (ICD10) code of C00-99 (excluding C44 and C84) or D05. As in the 2010, 2012 and 2013 surveys, the types of cancer patients included significant numbers with rarer cancers as well as patients in the Big 4 cancer groups i.e. breast, prostate, lung, and colorectal/lower GI. Trust samples were checked rigorously for duplicates and patient lists were also de-duplicated nationally to ensure that patients did not receive multiple copies of the questionnaire. Deceased checks on Trust samples through the DBS system were carried out on at least three occasions during the fieldwork, to ensure that the numbers of deceased patients in samples was reduced to an absolute minimum. This process was undertaken by Quality Health and was highly effective. 2

3 Survey method Postal surveys were sent to patients home addresses following their discharge. Up to two reminders were sent to non-responders. A freepost envelope was included for their replies. Patients could call a free telephone line to ask questions, complete the questionnaire verbally, or to access an interpreting service. Response rate A total of 118,081 patients who had received treatment for cancer during September to November 2013 were included in the national sample for the Cancer Patient Experience Survey. These patients were allocated to 13 different cancer groups. The numbers of patients in active treatment is rising by about 1.5% each year. 1,143 eligible patients from this Trust were sent a survey, and 707 questionnaires were returned completed. This represents a response rate of 66% once deceased patients and questionnaires returned undelivered had been accounted for. The national response rate was 64% (70,141 respondents). In 2013 the national response rate was 64%. Percentage scores The questions in the cancer survey have been summarised as the percentage of patients who reported a positive experience. For example, the percentage of patients who were given a complete explanation of their diagnostic tests or the percentage of patients who said that nurses did NOT talk in front of them as if they were not there. Neutral responses, such as Don t know and I did not need an explanation are not included in the denominator when computing the score. The higher the score the better the Trust s performance. Some scores represent performance across a pathway involving primary and community care in addition to acute care but represent important parts of the patient experience along the pathway of care. Most of the questions in the 2014 Cancer Patient Experience Survey are in the same format and have the same wording as in the 2013 CPES, and the scoring system for them is unchanged. Low numbers of respondents and data not reported Some Trusts have relatively small numbers of cancer patients, so the total number of respondents to the survey may be low despite the high response rate. Reports for these Trusts have been completed in the normal way, but the results for these Trusts need to be treated with caution. It is important to recognise however, that the low numbers of respondents in these Trusts is simply the result of low numbers of cancer patients being treated. 3

4 Patients were asked to complete the questionnaire in respect of the Trust named on the covering letter. In those Trusts without a radiotherapy or chemotherapy unit, where patients reported receiving these treatments despite these instructions, responses have been suppressed. In almost all Trusts, there were tumour groups where the number of respondents was less than 20; this is particularly true of tumour groups representing rarer cancers. Where numbers of respondents in a particular tumour group is less than 20, we have used the convention of leaving the relevant cell blank. This is further explained in the introduction to the tumour group tables in this report. Benchmark charts Percentage scores are displayed on benchmark bar charts in the following section. Each bar represents the range of results across all Trusts that took part in the survey for one question. The bar is divided into: a red section: scores for the lowest-scoring 2 of Trusts in 2014 a green section: scores for the highest-scoring 2 of Trusts in 2014 an amber section: scores for the remaining of Trusts in 2014 The black circle represents the score for this Trust. For example, if the circle is in the green section of the bar, it means that the Trust is among the top 2 of Trusts in England for that question. The line on either side of the circle shows the 95% confidence interval (the amount of uncertainty surrounding the Trust s score). The table below each benchmarking chart shows the following: Column 1 the Trust score for that question in 2014; Column 2 shows the lower confidence interval at 95% for the 2014 data; Column 3 shows the upper confidence interval at 95% for the 2014 data (the scores in columns three and four are the outer limits of the horizontal black line on the RAG chart); Columns 4 and 5 show the upper threshold for the lowest scoring 2 of Trusts on that question and the lower threshold for the highest scoring 2 of Trusts on that question in 2014 (i.e. the end of the red section, and the beginning of the green section, on the chart); Column 6 shows the highest Trust s score for this question in 2014; Column 7 shows the number of respondents who answered this question at this Trust in 2014; Column 8 shows where the Trust's score for that question in 2014 falls within the highest 2 (cell coloured green) or lowest 2 (cell coloured red) of Trust scores. Where no Trust data or confidence interval is displayed on the RAG chart or in the tables for a particular question, there is insufficient data (below 20 respondents) to allow this to be displayed. 4

5 Following the RAG charts are tables which show the scores for each question for each of the 13 tumour groups at this Trust, with a comparative score for that tumour group for all Trusts. Where the number of responses is lower than 20 for a tumour group at this Trust, the score is suppressed. Charts showing performance over time are incorporated in this report, showing, for the first time in 2014, the scores for each comparable question for this Trust in 2010, 2012, 2013 and 2014, with the national mean score for 2014 shown as a horizontal red line. If a score in 2012, 2013 or 2014 is statistically significantly different from the previous year, this is indicated by the value being either green for positive changes or red for negative changes. Any statistically significant difference between scores in 2010 compared to 2014 is indicated by an asterisk * on top of the bar representing the score for Further information Full details of the survey method are in the National Report of the Cancer Patient Experience Survey 2014, which will be available at from August 2014; further details of survey development, nationally agreed methodology, and cognitive testing are also available at Copies of the questionnaire, covering letters, and a master spreadsheet showing all results for every Trust in England in 2014 and previous years, both at "all cancers" level and at individual tumour group level, can also be viewed at 5

6 Who responded to the survey at this Trust? 707 patients responded to the survey from the Trust. The tables below show the numbers of patients from each tumour group and the age and sex distribution of these patients. Respondents by tumour group Tumour Group Breast Colorectal / Lower Gastrointestinal Lung Prostate Brain/Central Nervous System Gynaecological Haematological Head and Neck Sarcoma Skin Upper Gastrointestinal Urological Other Number of respondents* * These figures will not match the numerator for all questions in the comparisons by tumour group section of this report because not all questions were answered by all responders. Age and sex The survey asked respondents to give their year of birth. This information has been amalgamated into 6 age bands. The age and gender distribution for the Trust was as follows: Missing Total Men Women Missing Total

38 YEAR ON YEAR SCORES FOR COMPARABLE QUESTIONS Set out below are scores for each comparable question in the Cancer Patient Experience Surveys between 2010 and 2014 for this Trust. The scoring system is the same each year for most questions. If a score in a year is statistically significantly different from the previous year, then it is indicated as such by a green colouring of the percentage on top of the bar if the score is higher, or a red percentage if the score is lower than the previous year. If the score in 2014 is significantly higher or lower than in 2010 for the Trust, then an asterisk has been placed on top of the bar for Some questions in the survey are not scored as they are indicator questions showing what happened to a patient. These are: Q3 (time elapsed before seeing hospital Dr); Q5 (had tests); Q10 (who told you that you had cancer); Q32 (had an operation); Q36 (had an op or stayed overnight in last year); Q61 (had an outpatient appointment in last year); and Q66 (had treatment by one of these professionals). These questions are reported in the year on year charts below but no significance tests have been used to measure change from one year to the next, as they are indicators of volume of activity or time which are not direct measures of Trust performance. Some questions have no values for some earlier years as they were introduced in to the survey after
