NHS Camden CCG– Primary Care Engagement Facilitator

Objective: To provide support, advice and training to General Practices in Camden on cancer issues, to improve the earlier diagnosis of cancer in Camden.

Context:

This initiative sits within the context of the Camden Cancer Programme which aims to improve early diagnosis of cancer in the borough of Camden by using a two-pronged approach:

Increase population awareness of cancer, tackle perceptions of common cancers in particular community groups and promote an increase in presentation in primary care
GP practice and pharmacy education to improve the quality of cancer diagnosis, referral and management within primary care.

There will be two providers who work as part of this programme, one Primary Care Engagement Facilitator and one Population Awareness Facilitator. This specification is for the Primary Care Engagement Facilitator.

Objectives

Improve GP practice knowledge and confidence in making 2 week wait referrals for suspected cancer
Support GP practices to creative effective systems for referrals and safety netting
Support practices to implement best clinical practice in diagnosing cancer within primary care in line with NICE guidelines and local best practice pathways, to include improving the uptake of national screening programmes
Support practices to learn through reflective practice using root cause analyses and list reviews
Work with the CCG to improve communication between primary and secondary care regarding suspected cancer diagnoses through supporting education events and any other initiatives implemented by the CCG
Involve practices in the population awareness element of the programme, specifically
oTraining wider practice staff (e.g. administration staff) in cancer awareness materials and screening programmes
oRaising awareness of the local awareness programme and national campaigns
oAssisting with the distribution of awareness materials
oHelping to monitor the impact of the awareness programme in particular through supporting practices to undertake list reviews of newly diagnosed patients
Working with the provider of the population awareness programme to deliver a pharmacy campaign to improve early diagnosis of cancer.

Outcomes

3.Facilitate the provider of the population awareness programme to build relationships with practice staff and pharmacies
