4. Why ICJ? Understanding needs

5. Person at the centre of the whole system

6. Barriers All from the NHS: HNAs were already being done in the NHS
Patients would not accept someone from LA carrying out the HNA
Did people with cancer want this service?
The NHS would be swamped with unmet need
Project Manager did not have a clinical background or professional credibility

7. Whole system, whole city
Partners and partnership are fundamental in the success of ICJ. All partners contribute in different ways from:
Macmillan providing main funding of £3.2 over 5 years to develop the service – additional funding from PCUK, the Beatson Charity, Boots sponsoring the ICJ development managers salary,
Wheatley Housing Group seconding a housing professional to the team to deal with all housing related issues
Strathclyde Passenger fro transport agreeing to make sustainable the patient transport service for PABC to get them to their cancer treatment
SSE – energy action Scotland providing £80k pa to alleviate fuel poverty for PABC
NHS baseline research and agreeing to share data

8. Innovations Data sharing ISD CRM and mobile working GP pilot
Pharmacy pilot
Patient transport
Housing support – prevention of homelessness
Carers support

10. Evidence: Service users
‘’The work you do the hope you give people with cancer and the support in the feeling you are not facing cancer alone cannot be measured’’
Evidence: Service users
93% agreed that support from their Link Officer had
reduced their feelings of isolation
89% agreed they were better able to self manage
‘‘’Didn’t know how I could continue without ICJ as I was giving up hope of reaching Christmas, now I think I can
‘’The best advice that I can give anybody who has had a diagnosis of Cancer is to take up the invitation to meet with the ICJ team and see how they can support you and your family in so many different ways’’

11. Independent Evaluation
Napier University, Prof Austyn Snowden and Jenny Young
Interim report, July 2016:

‘’ ICJ is helping people who need it most’’
October 2017 report: programme data, experiences of service users,

Does ICJ demonstrably improve quality of life?
How ICJ is experienced by:
Patients and carers
The service providers
The wider culture

12. Scottish Government. Beating Cancer, Ambition and Action (2016)
“The Improving the Cancer Journey experience in Glasgow is an example of how an integrated approach to health and social care can lead to an improvement in quality of life, person-led post-treatment rehabilitation and ability to self-manage.”

13. ICJ challenges for discussion
Any ideas as to how we can improve ICJ in Glasgow?
How do we deal with increased demand?
Risk stratification
Volunteers
Should our focus only be on cancer?
How do we future proof ICJ?
