4 Section 1.0: Structure and Function 1.1 Structure & Function Cheshire & Merseyside Strategic Clinical Networks (CMSCN) are based in the North West of England & cover a population in excess of 2.4 million. The healthcare system covers a mix of rural and urban populations with high levels of deprivation and poor physical and mental health. The work of the SCN is facilitated by a support team hosted by Cheshire, Warrington and Wirral Area Team. The network comprises a number of stakeholders including: Patients, carers/families and members of the public 12 Clinical Commissioning Groups 2 NHS England Local Area Teams 9 Acute Hospital Providers (8 with A&E provision) 5 Specialist Hospital Providers 2 Mental Health Trusts 4 Vertically Integrated Community Trusts 3 Community Trusts 10 Hospices 9 Local Authorities 9 Health and Wellbeing Boards 9 Local Healthwatch organisations 2 Academic Health Science Networks 1 Ambulance Trust This document outlines the Constitution and Terms of Reference for the Skin Clinical Network Group (CNG) and will be reviewed on an annual basis. 1.2 Network Configuration of MDT s C-101j Within CMSCN there is a Skin Cancer Network Group (CNG) which has membership from each LSMDT and SSMDT. The implementation milestones to meet the requirements of the NICE IOG for Haemato-oncology have been met. The identity and location of the local skin MDT s (LSMDT) and specialist skin MDT (SSMDT) with the identified referring CCG are included in the tables below.

All relevant patients will be discussed at the SSMDT. Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh patients will be able to access radiotherapy and Mohs through the GMLSCSCN, i.e. under the care of The Christie and Salford Royal respectively. Within Merseyside and Cheshire Cancer Network there is an SSMDT hosted by St Helens & Knowsley Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust. The MDT deals with all cases of taking all referrals of malignant melanoma for level 5 care from their catchment population; and all referrals of malignant melanoma for level 4 care from their local (secondary) catchment population. The MDT serves a network population of 2.4 million. The Supranetwork Cutaneous T-cell Lymphoma MDT is hosted by The Royal Liverpool & Broadgreen University Hospitals NHS Trust 1.3 Network Configuration of Skin Cancer Services in the Community- 14-1C-102j The CNG has agreed with the CCGs a policy for provision of skin cancer services in the community which includes that the provision of treatment for skin cancer over the network, if carried out for NHS patients in the community setting, should be drawn only from the following 4 service models as specified in the introduction to these skin cancer measures: i. The service provided under the DES/LES contracting system. ii. Service Model 1 iii. Service Model 2 iv. Service Model 3 CCG s Care Level Supporting Information Halton CCG Care Level 1 Precancerous / benign lesions only; all low risk BCCs and above into secondary care Knowsley CCG Care Level 1 Precancerous / benign lesions only; all low risk BCCs and above into secondary care Liverpool Care Level 1 Precancerous / benign lesions only; all low risk BCCs and above into secondary care Skin Cancer CNG Constitution 2014 Page 5 of 18

The three key documents will be ratified by the CNG at the first meeting following 1 st April each year Designated Hospital Practitioners for Mohs Surgery C-107j Patients requiring Mohs surgery will be referred to the SSMDT St Helen s & Knowsley Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust. The Designated Practitioner for Mohs Surgery is Mr Hamid Tehrani. A second surgeon is currently undergoing training to support the service. The SSMDT assures the CNG annually that each practitioner has completed a minimum of 50 cases per year Training Policy for Model 2 Community Practitioners with Named Trainers /Assessors C-108j The CNG, in consultation with the MDTs, has agreed a training policy for the network for Model 2 Community Practitioners. This includes the requirement that unless they fulfil the exemption conditions, practitioners should be trained and assessed in an agreed selection of the skin surgery curriculum and competencies as set out in 'Guidance for the accreditation of General Practitioners with a special interest in dermatology (GPwSIs) and General Practitioners performing skin surgery 2011'. Exemptions may only be conferred by the practitioner having had 2 years of practice in skin cancer surgery, as verified by the lead clinician of the MDT. The CNG has an agreed list of named trainers / assessors of competence for the network for the Model 2 practitioners', which is reviewed annually. In addition, the CNG has agreed, the following policy for community practitioners: GPwSIs and model 2 practitioners practicing in the community should each be associated with one LSMDT or SSMDT The practitioners associated with a specified MDT should undertake the following: - undergo 15 hours CPD in skin cancer each year - have one session each year with a Consultant Dermatologist who is a core member of that MDT - have their community skin cancer practice included in the MDT s contribution to the Network audit - attend 4 MDTs each year including 2 teaching / audit meetings The lead clinician of the MDT will monitor adherence to requirements of the model 2 practitioners associated with the MDT Section 2.0: Co-ordination of Care/Patient Pathways 2.1 Clinical Guidelines C-109j The CNG is responsible for ensuring coordination and consistency across the network.

Skin Cancer CNG Constitution 2014 Page 9 of 18

10 Designated CNG members will be identified by the CNG to lead on specific guidelines. The CNG will ratify the guidelines and individual MDTs will agree to abide by them. The CNG will subsequently review, agree and update these guidelines on a regular basis and will audit the implementation of these guidelines, making sure they are kept up to date implementation is required, a network guideline will be developed. See Appendix 2 for full list of NCG agreed polices/guidelines. The guidelines include: the pathology requesting and reporting protocol with failsafe mechanisms, applicable to community and hospital practice there is a named histopathologist for the network, to whom all new presumed cases of cutaneous lymphoma, should be referred for a second histology opinion (Geetha Menon, Royal Liverpool & Broadgreen University Hospital NHS Trust) that cases referred to an SSMDT from another MDT are subject to a review of their histology by a core Histopathologist member of the SSMDT. 2.2 Chemotherapy Treatment Algorithms- 14-1C-110j The network group, in consultation with the Acute Oncology & Chemotherapy CNG has agreed a list of acceptable chemotherapy treatment algorithms. The list will be updated bi-annually. 2.3 Patient Pathways for Primary Care/ Community Services and MDTs C-111j The CNG has produced patient pathways (i.e. the named services, hospitals and MDTs which a patient should be referred to according to named indications, during their investigation, treatment, psychological and social support, rehabilitation and follow up). The pathways include the relevant contact points for the community services, hospitals and MDTs and cover the following: that actinic keratoses and precancerous lesions may be dealt with by any GP (level 1 care) that GPs should refer suspected cases of skin cancer requiring treatment, including BCCs, to the contact point of the relevant named MDTs in the network configurations, or for cases of low risk BCC, there is the option of referral to the contact point of a relevant GP based service the guidance for GPs on clinically identifying low risk BCCs incorporating the lists of clinically low risk BCCs. the named individual practices which will refer patients to which named MDT, one practice referring to one team. The pathways have been distributed to the hospital core members of the LSMDTs and the SSMDTs in the network. 2.5 Patient Pathways between MDTs C-112j The network group has produced patient pathways between MDTs (i.e. the named services, hospitals and MDTs which a patient should be referred to according to named indications, during their investigation, treatment, psychological and social support, rehabilitation and follow up). The pathways include the relevant contact points for the hospitals and MDTs and cover the following: that LSMDTs should refer cases of the types of skin cancer needing care level 5, to the SSMDT for discussion and management. In addition the following cases will be referred to the relevant site specialty MDT as per agreed referral parameters: o cutaneous lymphoma o kaposi's sarcoma Skin Cancer CNG Constitution 2014 Page 10 of 18

11 o o cutaneous sarcoma above superficial fascia other rare skin cancers e.g. Merkel cell tumours, atypical fibroxanthomas 2.6 Patient Pathways for Supranetwork MDTs/Services C-113j The CNG has produced patient pathways for supranetwork MDTs/services. The pathways include the relevant contact points for the hospitals and MDTs and cover the following: that cases of nodular mycosis fungoides (stage 2B or over) should be referred for discussion and consideration of TSEB to the supranetworkt-cell lymphoma MDT at Royal Liverpool & Broadgreen University Hospital NHS Trust that cases of erythrodermic cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, stages 3 and 4, having both skin involvement and circulating T-cell clonal cells, should be discussed with the clinician in charge of a named photopheresis facility for potential referral and treatment by photopheresis. 2.6 Patient Pathways Shared with Other MDTs C-114j The CNG has agreed patient pathways with the relevant CNG s specifying which out of the site specific MDT or skin cancer MDT should deal with which cases in which clinical situations and which parts of the patient pathway for the following: head and neck skin cancer anal and perianal skin cancer skin cancer of external female genitalia skin cancer of external male genitalia lymphoma involving skin sarcoma involving skin teenage and young adult (TYA) skin cancer patient pathways for initial management, follow up on completion of first line treatment and cases involving NHS specialised services CUP MDT Section 3.0: Patient Experience C-115j The CNG will annually review patient feedback of their associated MDT s and any actions implemented. The CNG will agree any actions required on a network foot print & allocate responsibility for delivery to an appropriate group. CMSCN is committed to user involvement in, and representation on, all Clinical Network Groups. Within the CNG, there are two appointed user representatives who are invited to participate in all discussions at the group and associated events with a standing opportunity for user issues to be raised at every CNG meeting for user feedback and input into the group s work programme. In addition, CMSCN use a range of different methods and mechanisms to maximise patient and public involvement in order to allow people to be involved as much or as little as they choose. Fundamental to this approach is the development of the People s Voice. This largely virtual assembly will consist of patient, carer, public and community representatives; its purpose is to support the participation and engagement of patients, carers and members of the public on changes and improvements to health and wellbeing services, policies or strategies. In addition, Rachael Duncan has been nominated as having specific responsibility for users issues and information for patients and carers. Skin Cancer CNG Constitution 2014 Page 11 of 18

12 Section 4.0: Clinical Outcomes/Indicators C-116j 4.1 Performance Indicators The CNG has agreed that the following network minimum datasets: National Cancer Waiting Times Dataset (NCWTMDS) Cancer Outcomes and Services Dataset (COSD) Cancer Waiting Times data is reported at each meeting & issues relating to pathway breaches investigated. Cancer Outcomes and Services Dataset (COSD) conformance is reported at each meeting to support 100% data compliance by January 2015 & resulting improved skin cancer outcomes using high quality data and intelligence. The CNG has agreed that collection of the MDS and associated checks on quality, quantity and validity is the responsibility of Trust Cancer Teams and ultimately is the responsibility of the named Executive Lead for Cancer in each Trust. All teams should collect the data relevant to the care they have provided. Where a patient is referred between teams for specialist investigations or treatment, then it is the responsibility of the specialist MDT to transfer the relevant dataset that they collect during the care of their patients back to the referring MDT. The Somerset Cancer Register (SCR) is accepted as the primary data collection system used to collect cancer data across CMSCN. Each Trust will ensure that data capture systems are organised to ensure that data is collected in a timely manner and in accordance with Caldicott and data protection policies. 4.2 CNG Audits In line with the agreed terms of reference, the CNG will agree a network audit project and review progress/completion on an annual basis. 4.3 Clinical Governance Arrangements for Community Practitioners C-117j The CNG, in consultation with MDTs, agree a policy for arrangements for community practitioners which includes the following: that Group 3 and skin lesion GPwSIs and 'Model 2' practitioners, practising in the network, should each be associated with a named LSMDT or SSMDT; that community skin cancer practitioners should have their practice included in the network audit; that MDT lead clinicians should monitor the attendance of any GPwSIs associated with their MDT, at four MDT meetings a year and an annual community practitioners educational network group meeting. The network group will hold at least one educational meeting per year to which community skin cancer practitioners are invited (2), and which includes: A presentation of network skin cancer audit results. The audit and the presentation should include a topic involving BCCs, of relevance to practitioners treating them in the community and a breakdown of individual practitioner performance; Skin Cancer CNG Constitution 2014 Page 12 of 18

13 A four hour CPD session, with an emphasis on skin lesion recognition and the up to date management of skin cancer (including BCCs) for community practitioners. 4.4 Clinical Trials C-118j The CNG will: Support local equity of access for all patients across CMSCN Support the development of the North West Coast Clinical Research Network (NWC CRN) portfolio of cancer studies Identify service configuration requirements to deliver local and national trials portfolio and develop plans for implementation Receive annual recruitment report from each MDT and agree any remedial actions.
