6 I had colorectal surgery, its side effects affected my life badly. I should have been warned about those side effects to decide. If I knew about them I would not [have gone] ahead with the surgery. (Person with colorectal cancer, 3 years after diagnosis) I felt I had no support following treatment, apart from the occasional check-ups. When treatment ends you feel very vulnerable that the cancer will return, but I had noone professional to turn to for support. My GP was very kind when I went to him, but at no time did my GP practice contact me to check how I was. (Person with NHL, 3 years after diagnosis)

13 Manage own care using the Recovery Package, information and signposting, with remote surveillance for monitoring Ability to participate in some self care but need intervention and support additional to Recovery Package and remote surveillance Complex management and ongoing treatment by MDT professionals

18 By March 2017, NHS England will agree an approach for collecting data on long-term quality of life, including assessing the role of Patient Reported Outcome Measures. This approach will be tested during 2017 for national roll out from By March 2017, NHS England, though Cancer Alliances, will drive the spread of riskstratified follow up pathways for breast cancer, including assessing the role of commissioning incentives to encourage implementation. In subsequent years, they will be rolled out to other cancer types NHS England and partners will review good practice in approaches to reducing and managing long term consequences of treatment in order to produce improved guidance to the system to encourage spread and adoption of cost effective practice commencing In 2017/18, NHS England will pilot the use of the Holistic Needs Assessment as a means of better management of the transition between phases of the patient pathway including ensuring timely access to palliative care

19 The inclusion of a quality of life metric in the Cancer Dashboard will lead to: Greater NHS focus on how well people live after treatment rather than just how long they live. Commissioners having access to data detailing the level of need in their area and benchmarking with other areas/providers. Data collection in health care settings could help shift the balance of patient/clinician conversations to include what matters most to patients. Once the quality of life metric has been embedded in the Cancer Dashboard for some time, and data has been collected over several years the expected benefits are: Supporting the development and evaluation of services. Measure whether an overall population level improvement in quality of life has occurred over time. More informed decision making patients able to assess quality of life alongside survival benefits. Commissioners and providers able to make comparisons between the quality of different treatments and services. The ability to hold providers and commissioners to account when services are poor. Quality of life data could improve understanding of the economic value of different care models and treatments.
