3. Personalised care and support
3rd of 5 major changes:
People will get more control over their own health, and more personalised care when they need it.
1.37 Support and help train staff to have personalised care conversations
3.64 By 2021, where appropriate every person diagnosed with cancer will have access to personalised care, including needs assessment, a care plan and health and wellbeing information and support.
NHS will increasingly be:
more joined-up and coordinated in its care;
more proactive in the services it provides;
more differentiated in its support offer to individuals.
It sets out five major, practical, changes to the NHS service model to bring this about over the next five years:
•1. We will boost ‘out-of-hospital’ care, and finally dissolve the historic divide between primary and community health services.
•2. The NHS will redesign and reduce pressure on emergency hospital services.
•3. People will get more control over their own health, and more personalised care when they need it.
•4. Digitally-enabled primary and outpatient care will go mainstream across the NHS.
•5. Local NHS organisations will increasingly focus on population health and local partnerships with local authority-funded services, through new Integrated Care Systems (ICSs) everywhere.

5. MACMILLAN’S ‘RIGHT BY YOU’ NEW STRATEGY
Everyone with cancer will:
Know that they can turn to Macmillan and how we can help from the moment they are diagnosed
Have a conversation about all their needs and concerns, and get the support that’s right for them.
Have their vital needs met by high quality services.
Everyone with treatable but not curable cancer will be supported to live life as fully as they can.
 We’ll inspire more people to give to Macmillan so we can continue to be there for people when they need us most.
We’ll improve the key activities which support Macmillan to do its work as efficiently and effectively as possible.

6. Personalised health & wellbeing programme
Previous offer of HWB in CHFT:
- HWB events for people at the end of treatment (curative focus) – run 3-4 times per year.
- Focus on managing the emotional effects of cancer, physical activity, Macmillan Information Service, informal time with clinical teams
- Some teams offering site specific HWB events/support e.g. gynae/breast/ colorectal/head & neck – inconsistent offer

7. Co-design with patients
June 2019 – discussed personalisation, health & wellbeing and prehabilitation plans – opportunity for patients to have their say & make recommendations
11 patients and 2 carers/partners attended – all with different diagnoses and stages of the pathway

8. Co-design with patients
Key Points from Patients/Carers:
More peer & emotional support needed, including opportunity to connect with other patients.
HWBE useful at End of Treatment but patients want information earlier.
Not enough support for incurable cancer patients – left alone to cope; not sure where to turn.
Prehabilitation – earlier info & support wanted on – diet/exercise/emotional wellbeing.
Patients found out about Macmillan Information service too late – missed out on benefits/Blue Badges/ exercise programmes etc
Information overload on diagnosis – conversations are better than leaflets
Befriending/buddying scheme would reduce isolation

9. So what did we do?
A new information and support session for anyone recently diagnosed with cancer
Message of Supported Self Management from diagnosis
Prehabilitation/health and wellbeing information - diet, physical activity, emotional support and different services which can help to support patients e.g. Macmillan Information Service.
Introduction to HNAs/Care Plans –potential to add PAM and personalisation questions to these sessions?
Monthly from 7th October Offered to all newly diagnosed patients in CHFT. Family members encouraged to attend.

10. THINKING AHEAD PROGRAMME
Health & Wellbeing Course for patients and families affected by incurable cancer- devised by Harrogate Hospital 2018
Launching in November 2019 in partnership with Kirkwood and Overgate Hospices – plan to run 4 per year initially
Sessions on advanced care planning; support services; diet; finances; managing uncertainty. Adding mindfulness session; physical activity; estates planning and faith and spirituality.
2020 – Monthly Thinking Ahead information session and support group for people living with incurable cancer.

11. HWB Support at eOT
