Effective Cancer management: framework
The framework for effective Cancer management is a guidance tool for Cancer Teams across NHS Scotland to improve and sustain performance of the National Cancer Standards.
8. Collective Strength
Cancer Management Teams across Scotland must foster effective working relationships across a variety of clinical disciplines that cancer pathways cut across. This will ensure the efficacy of timed pathways to improve and sustain cancer waiting times performance as well as patient experience & outcomes.
8.1 Attendance/representation from each NHS Board at the National Cancer Managers Forum (CMF) is expected to share good practice, especially those emerging during the pandemic i.e. Community Phlebotomy.
8.2 Attendance/representation from each NHS Board at the national CWT Data and Definitions Group is expected.
8.3 Weekly data submission and reporting for the weekly call with Scottish Government officials (monthly for Island Boards) should be part of core business for Cancer Management.
8.4 In the event that a patient breaches a cancer waiting times standard, effective Breach Analysis reports must be carried out and discussed with tumour specific Clinical Lead to avoid future similar breaches.
8.5 Cancer Management Teams should engage locally, regionally and nationally in regards to Clinical Prioritisation to help identify variance in access to care.
