4. How many identifiable stages are there in Macmillan’s Times of Need Framework? 9

12. Times of need framework
Although each person’s cancer journey is individual and varies in timescale, we recognise there being 9 identifiable stages
Each stage could be considered a period when a patient has greater need for intervention in some form, be it care, information, support, etc
The types of need have been classified:
Financial: Income, expenditure, work and administration
Physical: Health status and physical fitness
Practical: Personal care, tasks of daily living, independence
Emotional: Emotions, feelings and social interactions
Systemic: Access to / provision of support and services
Information: Information and support as an end in its own right
As you’d expect, these needs may be experienced in any number of ways, and to any greater or lesser extent – see lists for 2015 estimates of numbers and reach
Looking at TON, including level & severity of need and reflecting reach to consider how best change can be effected for each TON, e.g. nurses at Tx
Mapped against GSPs, with 3 emerging priorities:
LWABC. Develop better understanding of this beyond RP. Also understand sub breakdown and needs(cancer coming back, consequences, living well)
Incurable but Treatable into EOL – Transition. Maximise historical investment and existing position. Support transition to help improve outcomes for those patients. (NB EOL commissioning often condition agnostic so difficult to influence extensively)
(Diagnosis – 2 geographies referenced. More around point of diagnosis, recognise existing market around signs/ symptoms etc)
TON work started later than GSP so no neat fit
(Also Tx but recognised already in line with direction/ covered)

6. Name them….
7. Which two are the current priority GSPs? 3 & 4

14. End of Life Care Prevention and Diagnosis
Cancer Care Teams
Workforce
Living with and Beyond Cancer
GSP 1:
Macmillan has a comprehensive understanding of the needs, behaviours and preferences of People Living with and Beyond Cancer (PLWBC) across the Midlands
End of Life Care
GSP 6:
We need to work more closely with Macmillan Supportive and Palliative Care Services in the Midlands to enable improved transition from living with and beyond cancer to supportive care and End of Life Care (EoLC)Services
Prevention and Diagnosis
Treatment and Recovery
GSP 2:
To maximise the impact of the significant investment that Macmillan has invested in Acute Oncology Services in the Midlands in order to understand the needs of PLWBC when presenting inappropriately within Accident and Emergency (A&E) Departments
GSP 3: People Living with and Beyond Cancer (PLWBC) in the Midlands have access to holistic person centred care that enables them where possible to manage their own condition and the system is also enabled to deliver care and support according to the level of need
Quick show of hands – who heard of GSP?
who heard of TON?
Background:
Aware Macmillan gone through significant reconfiguration, partly to improve ways of working and enable better focus on local needs for PABC
UK split into 9 geographies, and each geography developed its own strategy.
Geographic Strategy
Based on extensive review and analysis of local provision and need
Identifies up to 7 geographic priorities to focus on over next 3-5 years, aligned with Macmillan’s overall aims (Reach and improve lives of everyone affected by cancer, and inspire millions of others to do the same…)
Enables Macmillan to maximise impact and influence
Joined up offer and ways of working
e.g. RP/ holistic person centred care, Finance offer, Transition/ EOL, address inequalities, workforce
GSP 3 (8/ 9 geographies with something relating RP/ holistic person centred care): Enable PABC to have access to holistic person centred care, enabling self management. System enabled to deliver care and support based on need
Midlands cancer patients and their family perhaps less likely to seek help through treatment and beyond = higher unmet need
Traditional systems of care not necessarily geared to prepare patients well in order to self manage, get involved in shared decision making (clinical and holistic)
GSP 4 (7/ 9 geographies with something ref workforce development): Workforce is equipped to enable PLWBC to self manage
Developing & enhancing current L&D for workforce involved in supporting PLWBC
Enabling workforce to support PLWBC to self manage
Influencing system approach, not just 2Y/ 1Y/ commissioners… not just specialist services hence GPFs etc
Ensuring Macmillan offer easily accessible
GSP 6 (5/ 9 geographies with a GSP covering transition/ EOL related): Work closely with Macmillan services to enable improved transition from LWBC to supportive care and EOL
Develop better understanding of transition to EOL, and Macmillan’s role in supporting
Enhancing support available to inform better planning for death, e.g. 50% die in preferred place of death, families may not receive information to enable them to die well
Establish if/ How Macmillan works alongside existing service providers delivering palliative care
GSP 5: PLWBC in the Midlands receive an early, high quality and integrated financial offer from Macmillan
Helping People Take Control
GSP 4: The current workforce in the Midlands is equipped to enable PLWBC to self manage their own condition
Midlands Geographic Strategic Priorities aligned to the Macmillan Sub Strategies appendix

15. What we are not prioritising and why….
Prevention and Diagnosis
Paediatrics
Supportive and Palliative Care (new investment)
Stand alone Clinical Posts
Bereavement Services
Rarer Cancers
Carer Services
Prison services
Cancer environments that do not support delivery of I&S
Where Macmillan GPs might be involved in service development/ transformation, and work with Macmillan for new services…list of broad principles for areas we would tend not to support in our service development prioritisation:
We will not prioritise prevention and diagnosis but continue to influence and work with our CRUK colleagues with regard earlier diagnosis.
We will continue to influence and improve supportive and palliative care services especially with regard the transition from living with cancer but there will be no new investment.
The focus of the strategy will be on adults whilst recognising that where teenage and young adults transition to adults and are living with cancer we will support improvements that enable this transition to occur more effectively (Not children’s Cancers).
We will not be prioritising new developments for the need of people with rarer cancers but will support improvements to services if they are meeting the needs of PLWBC. The rationale for this is that we want to ensure in the next 3-5 years that we have delivered new services and improvements for people living with breast, colorectal and prostate cancer.
We will continue to influence for improved access to bereavement services until we better understand the needs and gaps in current service provision.
We will not support any ad-hoc, stand-alone clinical posts.
We will not extend any services that do not meet our strategic priorities or are able to demonstrate impact for PLWBC.
We will not invest in cancer environments that do not support the delivery of Information and Support services.
We recognise that there are specific groups and areas where we will only be able to make a limited offer and contribution and these include:-
Carers – We recognise there is a need to understand the needs of carers so we can explore the opportunities to develop skills of carers to enable them to care. We will influence and work with services that support carers and will sign post carers to other services where appropriate. We will continue to provide information and support for carers about their role as a carer and the cancer of the person they are supporting.
Prisoners- we are aware of a significant expansion of prison services in Midlands. However, we anticipate providing an advisory role with no active involvement.
