Patient examples Doing the right thing for the patient. 1. Palliative patient, MDT -> IPOS score reductions 2. Curative treatment – symptom control 3. Complex treatment decision – permission to decline Pembrolizumab
Onc/Haem Patient pathway • Stage of illness – 25% patients seen at point of diagnosis – 10% patients seen at recurrence diagnosis – 1% patients seen at End Of Life • Treatment intent – 14% patients having potentially curative treatment
Clinic feedback cards What went well… • I found the consultation to be very useful. I was treated with considerable empathy and respect. Well informed and I actually enjoyed the visit and am looking forward to seeing the team again. • Very supportive and assuring consultation. Good advice and hopefully some local support available. • It was so helpful to have someone to talk to that understands the whole situation and it is so nice to hear that there are options.
Even better if… • P If I had been seen much sooner / earlier in the process. Think would work better if the whole care system worked together and focussed on person centred care and co-ordinated services. • P A different venue, not Oncology • P I don’t see any way of improving. The system seems to work very well.
