National Cancer Survivorship Initiative How can we support our survivors in the adult arena? What are the issues?

National Cancer Survivorship Initiative Characteristics may include: No routine outpatient attendances Information “prescription” and/or an educational intervention Automated surveillance tests with results by post or phone Ability to re access system with/without reference to GP Characteristics may include: Planned review of care e.g. hospital, community, face to face or phone Clinical examination if required Patients with significant co-morbidities Those who are unable/decline to self manage Characteristics may include: 20% Complex rapidly changing health Complex treatment complications or symptomatic needs Complex ongoing treatment regimes Other input required e.g. Cardiology, Haematology, Gastroenterology Requiring regular MDT reviews Differing needs

National Cancer Survivorship Initiative Transition Definition  A multi faceted,active process that changes care from paternalistic driven care (HCP/parents) to supported self management within adult services in parallel with the changing physical and emotional development that goes with the progress through childhood to adulthood.  Effective transition will facilitate safe self management and inform the more dependant survivors

National Cancer Survivorship Initiative Survivors voice Transition You need to know how the stuff in your past is going to affect you That strikes me more and more how really important [it] is that everybody gets that transition and then knows what to ask in it as well as what to get. Otherwise you’re left not sure. When you’re applying for a job, you obviously have to say something, but it’s how much

National Cancer Survivorship Initiative Survivors perspective Supported Self Management I understand the side effects my treatment may cause in the future You can’t self manage if you don’t understand Supported self- management provides a positive approach to long-term aftercare

National Cancer Survivorship Initiative Next steps  Define models of transition, who/when/where/how often  Test outcomes – DNA rates Reduction in acute admissions Appropriate self referral/monitoring Survivors experience  Economic evaluation

National Cancer Survivorship Initiative The future Working together..... Need to create a seamless flexible pathway Taking into account different needs and prevalence of consequences of cancer treatment. Common morbidities looked after by primary care More complex expert MDT Continue with commitment and effective leadership. Thank you
